Document Summary
Boys and girls 5-6 and 8-9 old. Help or hurt child in another room. They found that viewing aggressive tv led to longer. Why does watching aggressive media effects attacks and more aggressive play. Dv: average strength of electric shock given. All arousal is the same- so any arousal can actually intensify aggression. Type of film (non-erotic, erotic, aggressive-erotic content) Abstract: to examine the effects of aggressive-erotic stimuli on male aggression toward females, 120 male subjects were angered or treated in a neutral manner by a male or female confederate. Subjects were then shown either a neutral, erotic, or aggressive-erotic film and given an opportunity to aggress against the male or female via the delivery of electric shock. Results indicated that the aggressive-erotic film was effective in increasing aggression overall, and it produced the highest increase in aggression against the female. Even non angered subjects showed an increase in aggression toward the female after viewing the aggressive-erotic film.
