Effects of Violence Against Women in Popular Crime Dramas on Viewers' Attitudes Related to Sexual Violence

The Effects of Sports Media Exposure on College Students' Rape Myth Beliefs and Intentions to Intervene in a Sexual Assault

“…Instead studies have primarily focused on the effects of general television viewing (Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Kahlor & Morrison, 2007) or exposure to sexually violent programming on rape myth acceptance (Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Lee, Hust, Zhang, & Zhang, 2011;Linz, Donnerstein, & Penrod, 1984;Lonsway & Fitzgerald, 1994), and the results from such studies are inconsistent. One possible explanation for the inconsistent results between studies is that the effects of exposure to sexual and=or violent media on the acceptance of rape myths may depend on how the consequences of aggression are portrayed (Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Lee et al, 2011). If aggression is associated with positive consequences, as it often is in sports programming, then exposure to this type of media may increase rape myth acceptance (Malamuth & Check, 1985).…”

Law & Order, CSI, andNCIS: The Association Between Exposure to Crime Drama Franchises, Rape Myth Acceptance, and Sexual Consent Negotiation Among College Students

“…Only recently have scholars begun to explore the effect of crime drama exposure and attitudes and behaviors related to sex and sexual violence. Exposure to crime dramas has been positively linked to intentions to intervene during a sexual assault (Hust et al, 2013) and reduced acceptance of myths related to sexual assault (Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Lee et al, 2011). Yet, to date, existing research has focused solely on the crime drama genre, with few studies, if any, accounting for the differences between crime drama programs.…”

“…General exposure to crime dramas was associated with increased intentions to intervene in a sexual assault situation (Hust et al, 2013) and decreased acceptance of rape myths (Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Lee et al, 2011). Few studies, if any, have investigated the association between crime drama viewing and sexual consent negotiation.…”

“…Existing studies have primarily focused on the genre's effects on attitudes about crime and crime-related policies (Dowler, 2003;Dowler & Zawilski, 2007;Escholz, Chiricos, & Gertz, 2003;Kort-Butler & Hartshorn, 2011;Reith, 1999). Only recently have scholars begun to explore the effects of crime drama viewing on attitudes and behaviors related to sexual assault (Hust et al, 2013;Kahlor & Eastin, 2011;Lee, Hust, Zhang & Zhang, 2011). These three recent studies found exposure to crime dramas, in general, had positive effects on attitudes and behavioral intentions that would help create an environment that does not tolerate sexual assault.…”

La Pornografía en la obra de Andrea Dworkin: mujer y desconexión moral

“…Así, la exposición a medios de comunicación que repetidamente presentan a la mujer como un objeto, se relacionaría con la normalización del uso de la violencia hacia ella (Lee, Hust, Zhang, & Zhang, 2010). Como complemento, la Teoría Socio Cognitiva de Bandura (Bandura, 2001) postula que las personas pueden aprender valores vicariamente a través de, por ejemplo, los medios de comunicación (Weaver, 1981).…”
