| Summary: | This article examines the frequency and type (e.g., "going toward," "going against," "going away from") of interactions between people depicted in religious television programming. Demographic characteristics including age, gender, SES, occupation, race and marital status are analyzed in terms of the role they play in interactions with others. Results suggest age differences in interaction patterns, with children and senior citizens in religious programming having limited and unidimensional interaction with others. The elderly were often portrayed as conflict-producing individuals who were the frequent targets of guidance from their youngers, and children had infrequent and limited interaction with their elders. Similarly, gender differences were apparent; most interactions were male-dominant. Possible consequences in terms of social learning theory are provided. |
