第三人称效应假说认为，人们系统性地高估了大众媒体信息对他人的影响程度。它还建议人们根据他们对他人影响的估计采取行动。本研究旨在检验估计和行为，并从归因理论的角度解释这一现象。一个实验设计操纵诽谤性报纸文章来源的可信度产生了第三人称效应。然而，受试者对这篇文章的破坏性影响的估计与他们对报纸处罚的评估并不一致。他们在采取行动时更多地考虑了来源动机，而不是对受众的影响。
The third-person effect hypothesis suggests that people systematically overestimate the extent to which others are affected by mass media messages. It also proposes that people act in accordance with their estimates of effects on others. This study set out to test both estimations and actions and to explain the phenomenon in terms of attribution theory. An experimental design manipulating the trustworthiness of the source of a defamatory newspaper article produced a third-person effect. Subjects' estimates of the damaging effects of the article, however, did not correspond to their assessment of a penalty against the newspaper. They took more account of source motivation than of impact on the audience when taking action.
