Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept — A concept-to-description matching item in media studies is fixed by the KIND of claim each term makes, not by the words the term happens to contain. Four kinds of claim recur:
An effects hypothesis states what exposure does to a viewer’s drives.
A socialisation metaphor states what a medium shows a developing audience.
A selective-exposure concept states how audiences choose among the sources available to them.
A meta-theoretical critique states an error researchers make when they describe audiences.
Recovering each term’s originating claim first converts one four-way matching problem into four independent one-to-one decisions.
Application — Anchoring every List-I term to the research tradition that coined it gives:
Concept | Originating claim | List-II description |
|---|---|---|
Audience imperialism | A critique raised against active-audience research (Biocca, 1988): crediting audiences with almost unlimited interpretive power makes the audience "imperial" and lets the structural power of media institutions drop out of the analysis. | IV. Too much preference to audience activity |
Catharsis | The Aristotelian purgation idea carried into media-effects research (Feshbach): watching mediated aggression is held to discharge stored aggressive drive, so overt aggression should fall after exposure rather than rise. | I. Mediated aggression to reduce people’s aggressive behaviour |
Siloing | Audiences confine their news diet to outlets that already share their ideological position, producing information silos (echo chambers) with little cross-cutting exposure. | II. Selecting news sources based on ideology |
Early Window | From Liebert, Neale and Davidson’s The Early Window (1973): television acts as the child’s first window onto a world that lies beyond direct personal experience. | III. Early media exposure of the world to children |
Cross-check — The mapping has to be a bijection: every List-II description is consumed exactly once. Sorting the descriptions by side confirms it. The two content-side descriptions — mediated aggression lowering aggressive behaviour, and early exposure of the world to children — attach to the two terms that state what content does to viewers. The two audience-side descriptions — ideology-based source selection, and excess weight on audience activity — attach to the term about how audiences choose and the term about how researchers theorise audiences. Nothing is left over and nothing is used twice.
Result — A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.
