I am more influenced when I know less, and they are less influenced when they know more: Object-subject distance and the third person effect
Unformatted Document Text:  Object-subject distance and the TPE – 2 Abstract This study proposes that estimates of third person effects (TPE) are not solely dependent on ego-defensive mechanisms. Rather, people use intuitive notions of media dependency when they estimate the influence of media on different groups of others. Using data from a survey of two samples regarding perceptions of influence of media coverage of development towns in Israel, it is demonstrated that the distance of a group from development towns (rather than distance form the self) predicts the magnitude of the expected effects on that group.

Abstract
This study proposes that estimates of third person effects (TPE) are not solely
dependent on ego-defensive mechanisms. Rather, people use intuitive notions of
media dependency when they estimate the influence of media on different groups of
others. Using data from a survey of two samples regarding perceptions of influence
of media coverage of development towns in Israel, it is demonstrated that the distance
of a group from development towns (rather than distance form the self) predicts the
magnitude of the expected effects on that group.
