The present study aimed to observe the relationships between superhero media exposure, aggression, and prosocialness in adults. We also investigated gender's moderating role. A total of 700 Brazilians participated in the study (age mean = 25.77, SD = 8.63, SE = 0.32, 57% men). Results showed a positive relation between superhero media exposure, prosocialness (r = .18), and all aggression factors (physical: r = .13; verbal: r = .08; aggressive emotions: r = .16). Aggressive emotions mediated indirect effects of exposure (physical aggression: λ = 0.12, p < .01, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.05-0.21; verbal aggression: λ = 0.10, p < .01, 95% CI = 0.05-0.18). Finally, gender moderated the relationship between exposure and prosocialness (b = 0.13, t = 2.07, p = .03).
本研究旨在观察成人中超英雄媒体暴露、攻击性和亲社会行为之间的关系，并探讨性别是否具有调节作用。共有 700 名巴西人参与了这项研究（年龄均值=25.77，标准差=8.63，标准误=0.32，57%为男性）。结果表明，超英媒体暴露与亲社会行为（r=.18）以及所有攻击性因素（身体攻击：r=.13；言语攻击：r=.08；攻击情绪：r=.16）呈正相关。攻击性情绪中介了暴露的间接效应（身体攻击：λ=.12，p<.01，95%置信区间[CI]：.05-.21；言语攻击：λ=.10，p<.01，95%CI：.05-.18）。最后，性别调节了暴露与亲社会行为之间的关系（b=0.13，t=2.07，p=0.03）。
