Abstract: (1427 Views)
This article aimed to investigate the themes and categories that influence television programs on social vitality from the perspective of students' lived experience. The statistical population included students at various undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels in public and private universities in Bushehr province. Purposive sampling with maximum diversity criteria was used to select 15 participants to achieve an appropriate representation of the wide range of students' experiences with diversity in academic field, level of education, gender, age, and television consumption patterns. The data collection process continued until theoretical saturation was reached to discover all the different dimensions and aspects of the phenomenon under study. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used as the main data collection tool. Qualitative data analysis was conducted based on Brown and Clark's six-step thematic analysis method with MAXQDA software. To ensure quality and validity, Lincoln and Guba's criteria including believability, transferability, feasibility, and confirmability were used. The findings showed that in the area of psycho-emotional effects, students indicated that television programs were able to create changes in their moods and energy levels, such that some programs improved feelings of optimism and reduced anxiety levels, while others led to changes in sleep patterns and negatively affected their mood. In the area of social-interactional effects, students experienced that watching certain programs led to changes in their social interaction patterns and transformed their desire to be together, communication skills, and how they made friends.
