Despite the increased attention to eudaimonic media experiences, to date scholars have paid little attention to the specific portrayals responsible for those experiences. Study 1 of this project reports the first systematic content analysis of self-transcendent media—a particular type of eudaimonic media—using a sample of 100 “inspirational” YouTube videos. The presence of 20 specific elicitors associated with self-transcendent emotions was examined and reported. In Study 2, respondents provided real-time self-transcendent emotional reactions while viewing 3 “inspirational” videos. As expected, ratings significantly increased immediately following exposure to each specific elicitor. Thus, this project reports the first empirical evidence directly linking specific representations to content identified as “inspirational” and directly linking those representations to self-transcendent emotional reactions.

YouTube for Good：自我超越媒体的内容分析与检验

尽管人们越来越关注 eudaimonic 媒体体验，但迄今为止，学者们很少关注对这些体验负责的具体描述。该项目的研究 1 使用 100 个“鼓舞人心”的 YouTube 视频样本报告了对自我超越媒体（一种特殊类型的 eudaimonic 媒体）的首次系统内容分析。检查并报告了 20 种与自我超越情绪相关的特定诱发因素的存在。在研究 2 中，受访者在观看 3 个“鼓舞人心”的视频时提供了实时的自我超越的情绪反应。正如预期的那样，在接触到每个特定的诱导物后，评级立即显着增加。因此，
