Several decades of research have explored the links between exposure to violent entertainment media and subsequent aggression. However, there has been little research on the effects of exposure to images of real-life violence. In the present study, participants viewed either a video portraying acts of real violence, fictional violence, or a nonviolent video. After watching the video, mild aggressive behavior was assessed using the competitive reaction-time task. In 11 of the 17 preregistered measures, participants who viewed scenes of real-life violence exhibited lower levels of mild aggressive behavior compared to participants who viewed scenes of fictional violence from films and television shows. However, these effects were consistently small. The results suggest that exposure to images of real-life violence in the media may have a small inhibition effect on mild aggressive behavior in some contexts.

轻微的攻击行为和现实生活中的暴力图像。

几十年的研究探索了暴露于暴力娱乐媒体与随后的攻击行为之间的联系。然而，关于暴露于现实生活中暴力图像的影响的研究很少。在本研究中，参与者观看了描绘真实暴力行为、虚构暴力行为的视频或非暴力视频。观看视频后，使用竞争性反应时间任务评估轻度攻击行为。在 17 项预登记措施中的 11 项中，与观看电影和电视节目中虚构暴力场景的参与者相比，观看现实生活暴力场景的参与者表现出较低水平的轻度攻击行为。然而，这些影响一直很小。结果表明，在某些情况下，接触媒体中现实生活中的暴力图像可能对轻度攻击行为有轻微的抑制作用。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
