Abstract

This experimental research explores effect of cognition desire as audience's factor, and attention as context factor on audience's acquirement of information and understanding. Most previous researches of media effect focuses on news contents of TV, Newpaper and Internet. However the number of researches on TV documentary which contains lots of information very limited, and It's difficult to find researches on effect of cognition desire and attention on audience. Therefore this research tries to find effect of cognition desire and attention on audience's acquirement of information and understanding through experiment of TV current documentary. For this experimental research, 2 groups of subjects composed of 135 university students were exposed to 2 different viedeo clips of TV current documantary, one with window buzz, the other without it, after designing cognition desire as internal factor of 2 groups. Questions which were designed to measure cognition desire, acquirement of information and understanding of message were asked and analysed. This research found that subjects with higher degeree of cognition desire showed higher degree of acquirement of information and understanding than subjects with lower degree of cognition desire. However the effect of attention on audience's acquirement of information and understanding could not be found.

본 연구는 미디어 효과 연구 분야에서 수용자 요인인 인지욕구와 맥락 요인인 주목도가 메시지에 대한 정보습득과 이해에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통해 살펴본 연구이다. 대부분의 미디어 효과에 관한 선행 연구들은 TV나 신문 인터넷 등의 뉴스 콘텐츠가 수용자에게 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 있다. 그러나 이들 미디어의 뉴스 못지않게 다양한 정보를 제공하고 있는 TV 다큐멘터리를 대상으로 한 수용자 효과 연구는 매우 제한적이며, 다큐멘터리 수용자의 인지욕구와 주목도가 수용자에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메시지 정보를 풍성하게 다루고 있는 텔레비전 시사다큐멘터리 수용자의 인지욕구와 주목도가 메시지의 정보습득과 이해에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 실험을 통해 살펴보았다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위해 수용자 요인인 인지욕구 변인은 집단내 변인으로 설계한 후, 조작이 가능한 주목도 변인의 높고 낮음에 따라 2개의 집단으로 임의로 구분하고, 동일한 시사다큐멘터리 영상물을 시청하게 한 후 설문조사를 실시하여 피험자들의 인지욕구, 정보습득과 이해 정도 등을 측정하였다. 모두 135명으로 구성된 피험자들의 설문 조사를 분석한 결과 인지욕구가 높은 피험자들은 메시지에 대한 정보습득과 이해도가 높게 나타났으나, 수용자의 주목도는 메시지에 대한 정보습득과 이해도에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.
