Based on his cultivation analysis, Gerbner argues that television is the most powerful media in the modern world. Its violent content and stereotypical images are different from the real world. However, by bombarded with such content day in and day out, the audience are gradually influenced by television content. Furthermore, the more the audience watch the more they are affected by it and develop a mean and dangerous world symptom. In other words, the television shapes its audience’s worldview. Nonetheless, such statements are constantly revised and challenged. The "mainstream effect" and "resonance" are the most important revision of the cultivation analysis. Furthermore, the demand of testing such hypothesis in different region and culture beyond American soil has never stopped. This study answers to such call and examines Taiwanese television ’s cultivation effect on its youth audience. A survey of 2176 random sampled, 12-to-18-year-old, Taiwanese youth on their television viewing behavior, personal mishaps and deviant behavior as well as worldview, is conducted at the end of 1999. The results of this study are different from what Gerbner’s analysis. Thus, both the operationalization of television view and the generality of the cultivation hypothesis is discussed with further suggestions.
