The 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds made millions of listeners believe that Martians were invading Earth; however, most listeners didn't believe that the story was real. This outcome ultimately helped lay the groundwork for which research model?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hypodermic needle theory of communication

Explanation:

The hypodermic needle theory of communication says that one message (from the media) is like a magic bullet which enters the minds of the audience and injects a message to which most people are defenseless to although some of them are not.

This is what happened with War of the Worlds where millions of listeners thought that the Martians were invading Earth and there was pannick among the citizens who were listening to the radio when this happened (unaware they were just doing a dramatization of War of the Worlds). This theory would state that radio sent a message (Martians are invading Earth) that entered the minds of the listeners who immediately believed it.
