Anecdotal reports and limited research suggest that enrolling in self-defense courses can enhance feelings of control and reduce feelings of vulnerability; however, much self-defense is taught in the context of martial arts courses. To assess the effects of martial arts courses on perceptions of vulnerability and control, 83 students in physical fitness and 59 students in martial arts courses at 10 randomly chosen large universities responded to questionnaires. Martial arts students scored lower on control, higher on vulnerability, and higher on perceived likelihood of being injured than fitness students while enrolled in their courses. A year later, regardless of whether they had continued training, they scored higher on control and lower on vulnerability. Neither gender nor prior history of assault was related to responses. Enrolling in martial arts courses may not enhance people's feelings of control, at least in the initial stages of training.
轶事报告和有限的研究表明，参加自卫课程可以增强控制感并减少脆弱感；然而，许多自卫课程是在武术课程的背景下教授的。为了评估武术课程对脆弱感和控制感认知的影响，在10所随机挑选的大型大学中，83名健身专业学生和59名武术课程学生回答了问卷。在参加课程期间，武术专业学生在控制感方面得分较低，在脆弱感方面得分较高，在受伤可能性认知方面得分也高于健身专业学生。一年后，无论他们是否继续训练，他们在控制感方面得分较高，在脆弱感方面得分较低。性别和既往攻击史均与回答无关。参加武术课程可能不会增强人们的控制感，至少在训练的初始阶段是这样。
