Sexual violence remains a widespread problem among university students, with negative consequences ranging from mental and physical health problems to academic effects and interpersonal issues. Sexual scripts form the blueprint for sexual interactions. Such scripts are influenced by personal experience, as well as exposure to external sources. One such source is violent pornography, with its effect on sexual violence perpetration established in various studies. The aim of this study was to examine the link between violent pornography consumption and sexual violence perpetration. Further, we examined the moderating effects of perceived pornography realism and peer rape myth acceptance (RMA). University students (N = 686, 63.4% female) from The Netherlands participated in this online survey study. Male participants held more positive views toward pornography, viewed more frequently and more deviant content, and their perceived peer RMA was higher than that of women. Results indicated that, particularly for male students, viewing violent pornography increased the risk of sexual violence perpetration. This effect was further exacerbated if pornography was perceived as realistic and peer RMA was high. No such association between violent pornography and sexual violence perpetration was found for women, but this link was observed if peer RMA was high. Implications for prevention focusing on porn literacy initiatives and peer groups are discussed.
性暴力在大学生中仍然是一个普遍存在的问题，其负面影响涵盖身心健康问题、学业影响和人际关系问题等。性脚本构成了性互动的蓝图。这类脚本受到个人经历以及接触外部资源的影响。其中一个外部资源就是暴力色情内容，多项研究已证实其对性暴力犯罪的影响。本研究的目的是检验暴力色情内容消费与性暴力犯罪之间的联系。此外，我们还考察了对色情内容现实感的认知以及同伴对强奸谬见的认同（RMA）的调节作用。来自荷兰的大学生（N = 686，63.4%为女性）参与了这项在线调查研究。男性参与者对色情内容的看法更为积极，观看频率更高且内容更具偏差性，并且他们对同伴强奸谬见的认知高于女性。结果表明，尤其对于男学生而言，观看暴力色情内容会增加实施性暴力犯罪的风险。如果认为色情内容具有现实感且同伴对强奸谬见的认同度较高，这种影响会进一步加剧。在女性中未发现暴力色情内容与性暴力犯罪之间存在此类关联，但如果同伴对强奸谬见的认同度较高，则会观察到这种联系。文中讨论了针对色情素养倡议和同伴群体的预防意义。
