Although depictions of sexual consent are rare in the media, such portrayals have the potential to instruct young people on the procedural details of sexual consent. Taking an entertainment-education (E-E) perspective, we examined the effects of a televised depiction of sexual consent that contained verbal sexual consent, versus a televised depiction that only included nonverbal sexual consent, versus a no-exposure control group to test for changes in college students' attitudes and behavioral intentions toward sexual consent. In the pretest-posttest experimental design, those who were assigned to the nonverbal video condition reported less favorable attitudes about sexual consent between pretest and posttest. Additionally, interpersonal liking was an important facilitator of the E-E impact of the verbal sexual consent condition; the more the participants liked the characters in the verbal condition, the more positively about sexual consent they felt and the more likely they were to plan to engage in sexual consent. Narrative engagement did not mediate the effects of experimental condition on sexual consent attitudes and behavioral intentions. The implications for E-E are discussed.
尽管媒体中对性同意的描绘很少见，但此类描绘有可能指导年轻人了解性同意的程序细节。从娱乐教育（E-E）的角度出发，我们研究了包含口头性同意的电视性同意描绘、仅包含非口头性同意的电视性同意描绘以及无接触对照组对大学生性同意态度和行为意图变化的影响。在前后测实验设计中，被分配到非口头视频组的人在前后测之间对性同意的态度不太积极。此外，人际喜欢是口头性同意条件下娱乐教育影响的一个重要促进因素；参与者越喜欢口头条件下的角色，他们对性同意的感觉就越积极，并且他们计划进行性同意的可能性就越大。叙事参与并没有调节实验条件对性同意态度和行为意图的影响。文中讨论了对娱乐教育的启示。
