Talk:Mood management theory

Why the hell is this disputed or unbalanced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.234.40.81 (talk • contribs) 06:46, 14 September 2009‎ (UTC)‎

what the hell does this world need another almost entirely useless branch of xzy management 'theory' for? Kku 09:50, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

First of all, this isn't unbalanced nor should it be disputed. This actually pretty much summarizes quite precisely what Zillmann's intentions where with the concept. In fact, I'm inclined to believe that the factual accuracy isn't so much disputed, but the legitimacy of the theory. That would mean that who-ever said it's factual inacurate was bias in saying so, therefore has no right to edit this page.

Secondly (in reaction to Kku), whether or not the world needs another xzy management theory or not, fact of the matter is that this theory is out there and is more accurate in it's broad definement then most other theories in the same category (both my personal and my academic opinion (University of Amsterdam; Communicationscience).

Third and lastly; although this article might be bias toward certain viewpoints, this whole Mood Management principle is biased on hedonistic life perspectives. Therefore, it can't not be bias. Strictly speaking, this theory can find it's way all the way back to Aristotle with his catharsis philosofy toward drama. Although this is inherently different, it is based on the same concept of hedonistic human nature. That being said; hedonistic is absolutely impartial to this concept/theory and should therefore be named explicitly in the text.
