The authors investigated the effects of cutting specific graphic scenes of film violence on self-reports of arousal, enjoyability, and perceptions of violence among a sample of U.S. students. In 3 studies, they varied film exposure from 1 1/2 min in the 1st study to a complete motion picture (American vs. British version of same film) in the 3rd. In all 3 studies, the participants rated the cut versions as less violent than the uncut versions. The participants distinguished quite subtle differences in levels of violence, even when the cuts were minor and contextualized within an entire movie. Cutting the movie significantly increased its enjoyability for the women; for the men, there was no significant difference. Cutting violent films made no difference in arousal for the men but substantially lowered self-report levels of arousal for the women.
作者调查了剪辑电影中特定暴力画面场景对美国学生样本中唤醒感、愉悦感以及暴力认知的自我报告的影响。在三项研究中，他们将影片观看时长从第一项研究中的1分半钟到第三项研究中的完整电影（同一部电影的美国版和英国版）进行了变化。在所有三项研究中，参与者认为剪辑版比未剪辑版的暴力程度更低。即使剪辑幅度很小且置于整部电影的情境中，参与者也能区分出暴力程度的细微差异。剪辑电影显著提高了女性对其的愉悦感；对男性而言，则没有显著差异。剪辑暴力电影对男性的唤醒感没有影响，但大幅降低了女性的唤醒感自我报告水平。
