Prosocial violent media (e.g., media that combines both violent and prosocial content) is especially popular in entertainment media today. However, it remains unclear how parental media monitoring is associated with exposure to prosocial violent content and adolescent behavior. Accordingly, 1,193 adolescents were asked about parental media monitoring, media content exposure, and behavior. Main findings suggest that autonomy supportive restrictive monitoring was associated with lower levels of exposure to prosocial violent content, but only among older adolescents. Additionally, autonomy supportive restrictive monitoring was the only form of parental media monitoring associated with lower levels of violent content and higher levels of prosocial content, and autonomy supportive active monitoring was the only parental monitoring strategy that promoted prosocial behavior via exposure to prosocial media content. Discussion focuses on the importance of autonomy supportive parental monitoring, as well as the implications of parents encouraging their children to watch media with limited violent content-even if it is prosocial violent content.
亲社会暴力媒体（例如，将暴力和亲社会内容结合在一起的媒体）在当今的娱乐媒体中尤其受欢迎。然而，目前尚不清楚父母的媒体监控如何与接触亲社会暴力内容和青少年行为相关。因此，研究人员调查了 1193 名青少年的父母媒体监控、媒体内容接触和行为。主要发现表明，自主支持的限制监控与接触亲社会暴力内容的水平较低有关，但仅在年龄较大的青少年中。此外，自主支持的限制监控是唯一与较低水平的暴力内容和较高水平的亲社会内容相关的父母媒体监控形式，而自主支持的主动监控是唯一通过接触亲社会媒体内容促进亲社会行为的父母监控策略。讨论的重点是自主支持的父母监控的重要性，以及父母鼓励孩子观看暴力内容有限的媒体的意义——即使是亲社会暴力内容。
