Forty-eight undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to investigate the hypothesis that prior exposure to sexual humor would reduce the level of aggression directed by angry individuals against the person who had previously provoked them. In order to examine this suggestion, subjects were first angered or not angered by a male confederate; next, exposed to either neutral, nonhumorous pictures or to one of two types of sexual humor (nonexploitative, exploitative); and finally, provided with an opportunity to aggress against this individual by means of electric shock. Results indicated that exposure to exploitative sexual humor, but not exposure to nonexploitative sexual humor, significantly reduced the strength of subjects' later attacks against the victim. These findings are discussed in terms of the results of a follow-up study suggesting that individuals are more likely to think or fantasize about exploitative than nonexploitative sexual humor following the removal of such stimuli.
48名本科男性参与了一项实验，该实验旨在探究如下假设：事先接触性幽默会降低愤怒个体对先前激怒他们的人的攻击程度。为了检验这一假设，首先由一名男性同谋激怒或不激怒受试者；接着，让他们观看中性、非幽默的图片，或者两种性幽默类型（非剥削性、剥削性）中的一种；最后，给他们提供通过电击攻击该个体的机会。结果表明，接触剥削性性幽默而非非剥削性性幽默，显著降低了受试者随后对受害者攻击的强度。根据一项后续研究的结果对这些发现进行了讨论，该后续研究表明，在去除此类刺激后，个体更有可能思考或幻想剥削性而非非剥削性性幽默。
