C. The uses and gratifications model
D. The survey model
E. The textual analysis model

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": The minimal-effects model.

Explanation:

The hypodermic-needle research model is a communication model that suggests that the intended message is received directly and fully accepted by the recipient. I was based on studies of the influence of Nazi propaganda on the mass media and the impact of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s.

The minimal-effects model, on the contrary, is mainly used in political science in order to explain that political campaigns convert and convince voters only partially.
