Source For my English Term Paper #1

Hansen, C. & Hansen, R. (2000).Media Entertainment: The Phychology of its Appeal. In D.Zillman & P.Vorderer(Ed.), Music and Music Videos (pp.175-196). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc, Inc.,Publishers

I chose this book because it talks about the appeal of entertainment, specifically, in this chapter, to music and music videos. Hansen and Hansen describe studies that were conducted showing the percentages of people who found different genres of music the most appealing. More importantly, these studies proved how attracted to the music each person would be according to the type of imagery in music videos. For example it demonstrates what gives music videos the power to draw people in and why.
