I think media simply mostly brings out the behaviors already inherent to people. If a shitty person sees their behavior validated in media, they are now more likely to act it out in real life. Likewise for good behaviors.
Some people are definitely more susceptible to such influence than others.
- mihaic 2y agoPeople have a wide spectrum of inherent behaviors. I don't think you'd expect any medium to simultaneously amplify all of them. So if some behaviors are amplified more than other, isn't that equivalent to considering that a medium induces more frequently a certain behavior?
