This experiment investigated the effects of viewing films on suicide and violence on attitudes toward suicide. Non-suicidal university students were assigned to one of three groups: One group was shown a film about suicide, a second saw a film about violence, and the third saw a neutral film. Perceptions of the appropriateness of suicide and level of emotional arousal were measured by a questionnaire administered before and after the films were shown. Both the suicide and violent film groups showed increases in arousal scores after viewing the films. The results suggest that arousal became linked to cognitions specific to film content as a result of viewing the films dealing with suicide and violence. Other findings suggest that, for the suicide and violent film groups, perceived relations with parents were important predictors of film-induced changes in attitudes toward suicide.
本实验研究了观看关于自杀和暴力的影片对自杀态度的影响。非自杀倾向的大学生被分为三组：一组观看关于自杀的影片，另一组观看关于暴力的影片，第三组观看中性影片。通过在影片播放前后发放的问卷来测量对自杀适宜性的认知以及情绪唤醒水平。观看自杀影片组和暴力影片组在观看影片后唤醒分数均有所增加。结果表明，由于观看了涉及自杀和暴力的影片，唤醒与影片内容特有的认知联系在了一起。其他研究结果表明，对于观看自杀影片组和暴力影片组而言，与父母的感知关系是影片引发的自杀态度变化的重要预测因素。
