Brain functional performance is a collection of outstanding mental processing that provides a framework for achieving goals based on targeted behaviors. Disorders in executive functions make it difficult for a person to perform everyday tasks. One of the phenomena highlighted in various media is the violence that adolescents welcome with the production of violent movies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of violent movies on risky decision-making and behavioral inhibition of adolescents and compare the effects of violence with melodrama movies.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with a control group among 60 adolescents (30 girls and 30 boys) living in Tehran City, Iran. They were selected using the available sampling method. For this purpose, neurological tests of Iowa Gambling and go-no go were used.
The results showed that violent movies caused a significant increase in risky decision-making (P<0.05). In addition, these types of movies caused a significant decrease in behavioral inhibition among adolescents (P<0.05).
Movies with ill-mannered stories and content that glorify violence harm adolescents' decision-making and deterrence, leading them to make risky decisions and weaken their inhibition power.
大脑功能表现是一系列卓越的心理加工过程，为基于目标行为实现目标提供了一个框架。执行功能障碍会使人难以完成日常任务。各种媒体所强调的现象之一是青少年对暴力电影的喜爱以及由此产生的暴力行为。本研究旨在调查暴力电影对青少年风险决策和行为抑制的影响，并比较暴力电影与情节剧电影的效果。
本准实验研究采用前测-后测设计，并设有对照组，研究对象为居住在伊朗德黑兰市的60名青少年（30名女孩和30名男孩）。他们采用便利抽样法进行选取。为此，使用了爱荷华赌博任务和停止信号任务的神经学测试。
结果表明，暴力电影导致风险决策显著增加（P<0.05）。此外，这类电影导致青少年的行为抑制显著降低（P<0.05）。
包含不良故事和美化暴力内容的电影会损害青少年的决策和抑制能力，导致他们做出冒险决策并削弱其抑制力。
