It is argued that mediated communication is becoming the most important form of communication between cultures. Many empirical studies found that intercultural mass media uses have significant effects on individual perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors. In light of the theories of media uses and gratifications, the present study examines the impact of the Hakka ethnic media on the formation of cultural identification of the Hakka audience in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli in Taiwan. As a result, the present study is able to provide evidences of media effects on cultural identification of the Hakka ethnic media users. Other factors affecting cultural identification of the Hakka audience include age, Hakka language ability, education, and income. |
