碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 傳播管理研究所 === 99 === This interpretive study uses hermeneutic phenomenological methodology to understand the experience of six college students in Taiwan who participate in TV talk show as studio audience. Texts were collected from in-depth interviews. The result indicated a dramatic interaction framework toward the whole experience: participants as performers must ‘act’ like undergraduate students, though the show – from script, setting to personal front – must be ratified by producer. Furthermore, two transformative effects are found in participants. First, they were socialized in the studio through the performance, and learned more social-performing skills and scripts. Second, they are bothered by mixing up their drama-roles with social-roles. It was the producer’s purpose to represent ‘a world beneath’ of college students in University. However it became ‘a public trial’ on TV after excessive entertainment manipulation.
