An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of repeated exposure to sexually violent films on emotional desensitization and callousness toward domestic abuse victims. Results indicated that emotional response, self-reported physiological arousal, and ratings of the extent to which the films were sexually violent all diminished with repeated film exposure. Three days following exposure to the final film, experimental participants expressed significantly less sympathy for domestic violence victims, and rated their injuries as less severe, than did a no-exposure comparison group. Five days after the final film exposure, their level of sensitivity to the domestic violence victims had rebounded to baseline levels established by the comparison group. Emotional responsiveness at the final film exposure was correlated with levels of sensitivity to the domestic violence victims 3 days later but not at subsequent observation points.
进行了一项实验,以检验反复接触性暴力影片对情绪脱敏以及对家庭虐待受害者冷漠程度的影响。结果表明,随着影片的反复接触,情绪反应、自我报告的生理唤醒以及影片性暴力程度的评分均有所下降。在接触最后一部影片三天后,与未接触影片的对照组相比,实验参与者对家庭暴力受害者表达的同情明显减少,并且将受害者的伤势评定为不那么严重。在接触最后一部影片五天后,他们对家庭暴力受害者的敏感程度已回升至对照组确立的基线水平。在接触最后一部影片时的情绪反应与三天后对家庭暴力受害者的敏感程度相关,但与随后的观察点无关。
