Abstract

As middle and high school students consume and create their own pornography or use it as a form of violence perpetration known as image-based sexual abuse, school staff struggle to find appropriate responses to these issues. As pornography use becomes more prevalent, and discourse on sexual violence more public, pornography education could become a tool for preventing sexual violence and promoting sexual health. In response, we explored the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of PopPorn, a 4-module pornography and IBSA professional development training program in a sample of staff who work for Midwestern public schools (i.e., schools providing free public education funded by tax dollars and maintained by local government). Results indicate that the majority of staff perceive student pornography use and IBSA perpetration to be critical problems that negatively impact school climate. Results also indicate that the PopPorn brief intervention increases staff knowledge of and efficacy in addressing pornography and IBSA-related problems and reduces harmful sexual double standard attitudes that have been linked to victim blaming in instances of sexual violence. This promising program adds to a growing number of media and pornography literacy interventions aimed at improving sexual violence prevention and response.

摘要

随着中学生消费和创作自己的色情作品，或将其用作一种暴力犯罪形式，即基于图像的性虐待，学校工作人员很难找到对这些问题的适当回应。随着色情制品的使用变得越来越普遍，关于性暴力的讨论也越来越公开，色情教育可以成为预防性暴力和促进性健康的工具。作为回应，我们探讨了PopPorn的可行性和初步疗效, 一个 4 模块的色情和 IBSA 专业发展培训计划，在为中西部公立学校工作的员工样本中进行（即提供由税收资金资助并由当地政府维持的免费公共教育的学校）。结果表明，大多数工作人员认为学生使用色情内容和 IBSA 犯罪是对学校气氛产生负面影响的关键问题。结果还表明PopPorn简短的干预增加了工作人员在解决色情和 IBSA 相关问题方面的知识和效率，并减少了有害的性双重标准态度，这种态度与性暴力事件中的受害者指责有关。这个有前途的计划增加了越来越多的旨在改善性暴力预防和应对的媒体和色情扫盲干预措施。
