Explanation of results

The output of this calculator is pretty straightforward. The values of f and p appear at the
bottom of the page. If the text is blue, your result is significant; if it's red, it's not. The only
thing that might catch you out is the way that we've rounded the data. The data you see in
the tables below, which provide details about the calculation, has been rounded. However,
we did not round when actually calculating the values of f and p. This means that if you try
to calculate these values on the basis of the summary data provided here, you're likely going
to end up with a slightly different - and less accurate - result.

Cultivation Analysis

The cultivation analysis theory states that heavy exposure to media causes individuals to

develop an illusory perception of reality based on the most repetitive and consistent messages
of a particular medium. This theory most commonly applies to analyses of television because
of that medium’s uniquely pervasive, repetitive nature. Under this theory, someone who
watches a great deal of television may form a picture of reality that does not correspond to
actual life. Televised violent acts, whether those reported on news programs or portrayed on
television dramas, for example, greatly outnumber violent acts that most people encounter in
their daily lives. Thus, an individual who watches a great deal of television may come to view
the world as more violent and dangerous than it actually is.

Cultivation analysis projects involve a number of different areas for research, such as the
differences in perception between heavy and light users of media. To apply this theory, the
media content that an individual normally watches must be analyzed for various types of
messages. Then, researchers must consider the given media consumer’s cultural background
of individuals to correctly determine other factors that are involved in his or her perception of
reality. For example, the socially stabilizing influences of family and peer groups influence
children’s television viewing and the way they process media messages. If an individual’s
family or social life plays a major part in her life, the social messages that she receives from
these groups may compete with the messages she receives from television.
