ABSTRACT:
The authors look at the impact of viewing on aggressive contact sport, in this case professional ice hockey, on a spectator audience. Based on questionnaires, results indicated that exposure to violence through the film media had an additive effect on the viewers' level of aggression. However, results also indicated that the effect was not constant across viewers. Those who had low trait aggression scores were less affected than those with high trait aggression scores. Analyzed the impact of viewing an aggressive contact sport on a spectator audience. High school seniors (n=81) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) viewing an ice hockey game, (2) discussing ice hockey, and (3) the control group. Results indicated that exposure to violence through the film media had an additive effect on the viewers' level of aggression. Findings also showed that the effect was not constant across viewers as those with low trait aggression scores were less effected than those with high trait aggression scores.
