“…Fake news that appears to originate from a traditional news source has a greater likelihood of impacting the observer [7]. This issue is compounded because both fake and legitimate news stories are shared through SNSs, further complicating the task of differentiating between the two [55].…”

“…The current study used perceived realism to indicate the extent to which adolescents think that media portrayals reflect the real world-social realism (Busselle & Greenberg, 2000). Other relevant conceptualizations related to perceived realism include "plausibility" or "probability" (the likelihood of observations in the media existing in the real world), "identity" (incorporating media content into real life), and "utility" (usefulness of media content in real life) (Busselle & Greenberg, 2000).…”

Extensions of the current study could include assessments of different forms of perceived realism to examine their potentially differential functioning in media impact among adolescents.…”

Perceived Realism Moderates the Relation Between Sexualized Media Consumption and Permissive Sexual Attitudes in Dutch Adolescents

This study examined whether the development of sexualized media consumption and permissive sexual attitudes would be more strongly interrelated when adolescents perceived sexualized media images as highly realistic. We used data from a three-wave longitudinal sample of 444 Dutch adolescents aged 13-16 years at baseline. Results from parallel process latent growth modeling multigroup analyses showed that higher initial levels of sexualized media consumption were associated with higher initial level of permissive sexual attitudes.Moreover, increases of sexualized media consumption over time were associated with increases of permissive sexual attitudes over time. Considering the moderation by perceived realism, we found these effects only for those who perceived sexualized media as more realistic. Findings for male and female adolescents were similar except for the relations between initial levels and subsequent development. Among male adolescents who perceived sexualized media images to be realistic, higher initial levels of permissive sexual attitudes were related to subsequent less rapid development of sexualized media consumption. For male adolescents who perceived sexualized media to be less realistic, higher initial levels of sexualized media consumption were related to a subsequent less rapid development of permissive sexual attitudes. These relations were not found for female adolescents. Overall, our results suggest that, in male and female adolescents, those with a high level of perceived realism showed a correlated development of sexualized media consumption and permissive sexual attitudes. These findings point to a need for extended information on how to guide adolescents in interpreting and handling sexualized media in everyday life.

“…This makes it important to measure perceived anthropomorphism and credibility separately and not just consider how it is manipulated if one is to examine the influence of these important variables [16,44]. Therefore, our predictions are not based on the image manipulation.…”

Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) is information shared on the Internet about a product, which allows people to receive information from others they may not otherwise encounter. Online product reviews are a type of eWOM where a user posts a comment about a product and selects an image to represent the self. The perception of the image and the text in the product review can influence source credibility and the perception of the product, as well as the likelihood that someone will purchase the product. This study examines the effect of the product reviews and their different images and text on perceived credibility, source trustworthiness and purchase intention. Consistent with predictions based on the information processing theory, perceived anthropomorphism influences perceived credibility, source trust, and purchase intention.
