Abstract

Since Davison (1983) proposed the hypothesis regarding the Third-Person Effect (TPE), it has been widely accepted by researchers in communication. The objective of this study is to test both perceptual and behavioral components of TPE in Spain related to media in general, violent, pornographic, and trash TV shows (in particular, the TV show Sálvame, Save me! in Spanish). Relying on two different surveys, the study confirms the perceptual component of the third-person effect for media and controversial content. Moreover, respondents perceive Sálvame as the most negative content, with the majority stating that they have tried to protect family and friends from the contents of the program and would be in favor of censoring it.
