Cilj provedenog istraživanja bio je ispitati promjene u izraženostipredrasude prema Romima prije, neposredno nakon te 17mjeseci poslije prikazivanja reality emisije u kojoj je pobjednikbio pripadnik romske manjine te utvrditi hoće li one biti jednakogasmjera kao i promjene u izvještavanju o Romima i problemunjihove diskriminacije u tiskanim medijima. Istraživanje jeprovedeno anketnim ispitivanjem u tri točke mjerenja te analizomsadržaja 231 broja tiskanih publikacija izdanih u dvomjesečnomrazdoblju prije svake ankete. U skladu s hipotezama,neposredno nakon emisije, utvrđena je manja izraženost otvorene,ali i prikrivene predrasude prema Romima, nego u razdobljuprije emisije. Iako i dalje niži nego prije emisije, rezultatipokazuju trend ponovnoga porasta predrasude 17 mjesecinakon emisije. Najveći broj novinskih članaka o Romima,najveće površine, s relativno najmanjim udjelom negativnihčlanaka te s najvišom zastupljenosti teme diskriminacije Romautvrđen je za vrijeme i neposredno nakon emisije. Rezultati ovogistraživanja pokazuju da bi već i jedna televizijska emisija mogladovesti do znatnoga smanjenja predrasuda, što se može ostvaritimedijskim kontaktom s pripadnikom manjine i opažanjempozitivne manjinsko-većinske interakcije, ali i izloženošćumedijskoj agendi koja promiče norme međugrupne tolerancije.The aim of the study was to examine the difference in theprejudice level toward Roma before, right after andseventeen months since the broadcasting of a reality show inwhich the winner was a Roma minority member, and todetermine whether the representation of Roma and the issueof Roma discrimination in print media coincides with thegiven changes. The research included a survey study,conducted at three time points and a content analysis of 231issues of print media, published during bimonthly periodsthat preceded each survey. Consistent with the hypotheses,right after the show, the level of both overt and subtleprejudice was significantly lower than before the show. 17months later, although still lower than before the show, theprejudice level demonstrated an increasing trend. Thehighest representation of Roma in print media was foundduring and right after the show, with the lowest proportion ofnegative articles, and highest representation of articlesconcerning Roma discrimination. The results indicate thatonly one television show could lead to significant reductionof prejudice, through media contact with a member of aminority and observation of a positive minority-majorityinteraction, as well as through exposure to a media agendathat promotes the social norms of intergroup tolerance
