Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unintentional media effects can occur simultaneously with intentional media effects, meaning that the media can have both intended and unintended consequences. Unintentional effects are not always negative, and they can be short-term or long-term. The only incorrect statement is that unintentional effects only happen when we are in a state of automaticity, as they can occur regardless of whether we are consciously aware of them or not.
