Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Previous studies typically focused on materialism and perceptions of general others’ affluence to explain the relationship between television viewing and life satisfaction. This study extends our understanding of such a relationship by demonstrating the mediating roles of health-risk perceptions and health-related self-efficacy beliefs. Surveys were administered to 274 college students at a large Southeastern university, and the data subjected to path analyses. Results reveal that exposure to health-related television news was associated with a higher perception of health-related self-efficacy, and that perception was related to a higher degree of life satisfaction. These results suggest that health-related perceptions other than materialism-related beliefs help establish the association between television viewing and life satisfaction. Other implications are also discussed.
