Digital technologies are changing media consumption in many markets. This study offers and tests a model to analyze the factors that influence electronic media usage in an emerging market; Brazil. Through a survey, a sample of 1.000 cases was collected, capturing consumers' perceptions about five media (Broadcast TV, Pay-TV, Internet, Mobile Phones, and Game Consoles). Using SEM, the study found that Attitude is influenced by Image, Entertainment and Content, followed by Communication and Habit. Also, Attitude is a strong predictor of Satisfaction, while Attention is explained by Entertainment and Satisfaction. The model explained 80% of Attitude and 90% of Satisfaction.

Understanding users in the era of social media is challenging, requiring organizations to adopt novel computation-aided approaches. To exemplify such an approach, we retrieved information on millions of interactions with YouTube video content from a major Middle Eastern media outlet, to automatically generate personas that capture how different audience segments interact with thousands of individual content pieces. Then, we used qualitative data to provide additional insights into the automatically generated persona profiles. Our findings provide insights into social media usage in the Middle East and demonstrate the application of a novel methodology that generates culturally adapted personas of social media audiences, summarizing complex social analytics data into human portrayals that are easy to understand by end users in real organizations.

Aim: The aim of this article is to work out the differential significance of risk factors of media usage, personality and social environment in order to explain problematic video game usage in childhood and adolescence. Method: Data are drawn from the Berlin Longitudinal Study Media, a four-year longitudinal control group study with 1 207 school children. Data from 739 school children who participated at 5th and 6th grade were available for analysis. Result: To explain the development of problematic video game usage, all three areas, i. e. specific media usage patterns, certain aspects of personality and certain factors pertaining to social environment, must be taken into consideration. Video game genre, video gaming in reaction to failure in the real world (media usage), the children’s/adolescents’ academic self-concept (personality), peer problems and parental care (social environment) are of particular significance. Conclusion: The results of the study emphasize that in future – and above all also longitudinal – studies different factors regarding social environment must also be taken into account with the recorded variables of media usage and personality in order to be able to explain the construct of problematic video game usage. Furthermore, this will open up possibilities for prevention.

Abstract. Research on age differences in media usage has shown that older adults are more likely than younger adults to select positive emotional content. Research on emotional aging has examined whether older adults also seek out positivity in the everyday situations they choose, resulting so far in mixed results. We investigated the emotional choices of different age groups using video games as a more interactive type of affect-laden stimuli. Participants made multiple selections from a group of positive and negative games. Results showed that older adults selected the more positive games, but also reported feeling worse after playing them. Results supplement the literature on positivity in situation selection as well as on older adults’ interactive media preferences.

Sociological Factors

Given the increasing relevance of verbal aggression in today’s society, the goal of this study was to assess the relative contributions of potential demographic and sociological factors. Emerging adults were surveyed, and the data were analyzed using correlations and hierarchical regression. While television viewing, video game playing, and music listening were positively correlated with verbal aggression, only (rap) music listening remained significant when demographic and other sociological influences were factored in. Overall, the hierarchical regression analysis found religiosity, parental and peer influence, quality of neighborhood, sex, and media usage (listening to rap music) to be significant contributors to verbal aggression among emerging adults. Male participants reported more verbally aggressive behavior than women, and African Americans reported more verbal aggression than White respondents. While media usage seems to play a significant, but relatively small role, other demographic and sociological factors such as gender, neighborhood, religion, peers, and parents appear to be major contributors in the development of verbal aggression among emerging adults.

Der Kampf um das Wohnzimmer ist voll entbrannt. Eine Reihe von Anbietern versuchen Streaming Media-Dienste im deutschen Markt zu etablieren. Amazon hat sich mit seiner Strategie eine marktführende Rolle erarbeiten können. Laut einer Analyse von Goldmedia¹ besitzt Amazon mittlerweile einen Anteil im Video-On-Demand-Markt von 38,9%, deutlich vor Wettbewerbern wie Apple, Maxdome, Google oder Netflix. Der Erfolg kommt nicht von ungefähr. Der Grund liegt vor allem in einer umfassenden Strategie rund um das Thema Bewegtbild und Video Content. Im Kampf um das Wohnzimmer haben selbst große und finanzkräftige Wettbewerber einen schweren Stand, um mit umfassend gebündelten Angeboten Schritt zu halten.

Pay Tv

Als Premiere bei der Vergabe der Bundesliga-Fernsehrechte für die nächsten drei Jahre durch die DFL leer ausging, wurde von dort eine ordnungs- und medienpolitisch relevante Kritik geäußert. Arena, der neue Inhaber der Pay-TV-Rechte, ist nämlich eine hundertprozentige Tochtergesellschaft des Unternehmens Unity Media, das gleichzeitig die Kabelnetze von ish, iesy und Tele Columbus betreibt. Bisher war die Trennung von TV-Programm und -Distribution nicht nur ein Prinzip der Medienpolitik, sondern auch ein struktureller Vorteil aus ordnungspolitischer Sicht, da es den funktionierenden Wettbewerb auf der Programmebene von eventuellen Wettbewerbsproblemen auf der Distributionsebene unabhängig macht. Mehr als die Hälfte aller Haushalte erhalten ihre Fernsehprogramme über das TV-Kabel, das überall ein regionales Monopol besitzt. Allerdings steht das TV-Kabel in Substitutionskonkurrenz zu anderen Distributionswegen wie Satellit und Terrestrik (insb. DVB-T) und zukünftig auch zu den aufgerüsteten, breitbandigen Telekommunikationsnetzen (insb. VDSL) im Kontext von Triple Play. Diese verschärfte Wettbewerbssituation, die die Geschäftsmodelle der Kabelnetze in Gefahr bringt, zwingt diese, nach neuen Erlösmöglichkeiten Ausschau zu halten. Solche können einerseits im Angebot von Telefon- und Internetdiensten bestehen und andererseits im eigenen Angebot audiovisueller Inhalte, insbesondere als Pay-TV oder Pay-per-View bzw. Video-on-Demand. Damit ist die Interessenkollision zwischen Kabelnetzbetreibern und Programmanbietern vorgezeichnet. Im Folgenden beziehen Dr. Constantin Lange von der RTL inter active GmbH, Bernd Kleinsteuber von der Cablecom GmbH und Prof. DI Thomas Lange von der UPC Austria mit ihren Standpunktbeiträgen Position auf die Frage: Kabelnetzbetreiber als Programmveranstalter?
