Abstract
This study aims to investigate which media type—social media, news, or music—is the most influential in shaping teens' attitudes and perceptions towards intervention in domestic violence. A total of 60 participants, aged 12-17, were recruited. After 14 incomplete survey responses were excluded, 46 cases remained in the analytic dataset; the valid N ranged from 43 to 46 across analyses because of missing responses. The findings of this study play an immense crucial role in understanding and comprehending how different media types influence attitudes and perceptions towards intervention among young adults. It also analyzes how persuasive they found the content through manipulating the perceived popularity of the content. A wide range of social stages shape attitudes toward violence against women. These include awareness, social acceptability, and persuasion. Ultimately, it was found that exposure to different media outlets did not contribute to the responses at all. Furthermore, the responses were relatively desirable and biased.
