A survey of university students explored correlates of sensitivity to violence, defined as a person's average rating of the severity of violence of several behaviors. The 79 women were somewhat more sensitive than the 39 men. Sensitivity was associated with the tendency to describe oneself as violence sensitive or violence tolerant, with the person's manner of defining the concept of violence, and with the tendency to include verbal abuse and inaction as possible forms of violence. Sensitivity was not clearly associated with some other variables, such as attitudes toward bullying and acceptability of hunting. The potential utility of measuring sensitivity to violence, and further work suggested by these findings, are discussed.
一项针对大学生的调查探讨了对暴力的敏感性的相关因素，将暴力的敏感性定义为一个人对几种行为的暴力严重程度的平均评价。79 名女性比 39 名男性略为敏感。敏感性与倾向于将自己描述为对暴力敏感或容忍的倾向、个人对暴力概念的定义方式以及将言语虐待和不作为视为可能的暴力形式的倾向有关。敏感性与其他一些变量（如对欺凌的态度和对狩猎的可接受性）之间没有明显的关联。这些发现表明，衡量对暴力的敏感性的潜在效用以及进一步的工作值得探讨。
