affect-dependent theory of stimulus arrangements  

Definición

  • Based on the core assumption that individuals are motivated to seek pleasure and avoid pain, the affect-dependent theory of stimulus arrangements of Dolf Zillmann and Jennings Bryant can be applied to many communication contexts. However, in practice, applications of the theory have been used to explain how and why individuals choose particular media content when faced with numerous alternatives.
