Abstract
Numerosos autores han vinculado la experiencia de ver violencia en televisión con procesos de identificación. La investigación ha descubierto dimensiones que no recogen con precisión la experiencia peculiar de los espectadores. El objetivo de este trabajo es reconstruir la noción de identificación a partir del discurso.
Se analizaron ocho grupos focales con visionado de fragmentos de programas con violencia real o ficticia.
Los resultados muestran que la identificación está conectada a la especularidad, la posibilidad de experimentar la misma emoción e impacto de los personajes, según la similitud o preferencia de los espectadores. Por último, se discuten las implicaciones sobre los efectos de la violencia en televisión.
The experience of watching violence in TV has been widely connected with processes of identification. Research has discovered several dimensions, but they do not properly describe the peculiar experience of spectators when watching violence. The aim of this article is to reconstruct a notion of identification from viewers’ discourse. 8 focus groups of Spanish viewers were analyzed. Participants watched TV programs containing factual and fiction violence. Results show that identification is closely connected to specularity, as the possibility of experiencing the same emotion and impact as TV characters, which varies according to similarity and preference for characters. Different consequences for effects of TV violence are discussed.
