摘要：

The relationships of media news, drama, and sports exposure, and direct interracial contact to beliefs about the relative socioeconomic outcomes and contributions of black and white Americans were assessed among two samples of white midwestern university students surveyed in 1980-81 and 1985-86, respectively. Different types of media content were related differently to beliefs about the socioeconomic standing of black Americans. Greater amounts of exposure to TV entertainment content were associated with beliefs that black Americans enjoy a relatively higher socioeconomic position with respect to average income, social class, and educational achievement. In contrast, higher exposure to TV news was associated with perceptions that in comparison to whites, black Americans are relatively worse off socioeconomically. Media effects were stronger in 1985-86 and among respondents from backgrounds affording little or no opportunity for direct interracial contact.
