Salah satu cara riset mereka dengan membuat 2 kelompok manusia. Satu kelompok diperlihatkan tontonan porno, dan yang lain tidak. Ternyata memang kelompok yang menonton tontonan porno secara seksual lebih agresif. Detak jantung dan tekanan darah meningkat dan ketika diwawancarai wanita yang pria jadi lebih agresif secara seksual. Di antara point2nya: 1. Setiap wanita di AS punya peluang 33% untuk diperkosa. 2. Sejak tahun 1960 perkosaan meningkat seiring dengan maraknya pornografi. 3. Pemerkosa lebih banyak membaca/menonton bacaan/video porno. 4. Pornografi memang berdampak. Kebanyakan dampak negatif. 5.

Erotica, Hard Core, and Soft Core - the problem of individual taste (the good, the bad, and the naughty) C. The Problem of Personal Preference - while people argue about how "bad" a message has to be in class we will look only at the most explicit, XXX-rated messages. II. Definitions of Obscenity A. Conceptual 1. Appeals to the Prurient - message leaves you feeling, longing with desire, arouses, etc. 2. Patently Offensive - no argument that everyone was offended. 3.

Method - recruited men who had more traditional gender roles. One group was shown a porno movie and the other was not. Then women were asked to interview the men. 2. Results - women clearly saw a difference (those who saw the porno movie were more active, etc.). Men that saw the porno movie remembered the women and not the interview questions. B. Research on Immediate Effects 1. Physiological - monitored blood pressure, heart rate, etc. Both Men and women get physiologically aroused. 2. Behavioral - Younger people tend to model but older people see pornography as a motivator. 3. Cognitive a. Strong attitudinal response - they either like it or not. b.

Methods of this Research 1. Participants - wide range of adults (18-middle age) 2. Cover Story - revolves around a marketing study. For example, we've been hired by a cable TV company and would like you to preview movies but were warned that they might see adult-oriented movies. 3. Basic Procedure a.

(Malamuth & Briere, 1986) - see page 100 X. Person Characteristics Related to Sexual Assault A. Date Rape by Men (Koss & Leonard, 1984) - men read a scenario. Scenarios varied with sexual encounters. Men were asked to indicate whether they had been in these situations. 1. 10-15% identified themselves as being in a "rape" situation B. A "Normal" Pathology (Kanin, 1985) - conducted clinical interviews of self-confessed date rapists and found no difference between this group and those that did not date rape. 1. Found that date rapists used more pornography 2. Date rapists generally were more aggressive and had more sexual experience. C. Rape Myth Acceptance (Burt, 1980) - see page 193 1. Men who score higher on the rape myth scale are more likely to admit to date rape. D. Likelihood of Raping (Malamuth, 1981 If you had the chance to rape a woman and knew you would not be caught and punished, what is the likelihood you would do so? 75-85% said they would not E.

Then teacher learner experiment (male shocks female). B. Meta-Analysis Characteristics C. Add "Standard" Pornography - males does less shocking after viewing standard porno. D.
