Abstract

This study's aim is to examine whether a short exposure of a sexually violent material (SVM) adversely affects the implicit attitude on sexual violence (ASV). We developed a modified sexual violence-Implicit Association Test (SV-IAT) to measure implicit ASV, and investigated how an implicit and explicit ASV are changed after the short exposure of SVM depend on the likelihood of sexual aggression (LSA), using a video clip extracted from a sexually violent 3D game. In the first experiment, we examined the construct validity of SV-IAT. Among 80 male college student respondents on Rape Myth Acceptance scale (RMA), those above 25th and below 75th percentile on RMA score were selected, and then 30 recruited participants (15 higher and 15 lower) took part in SV-IAT individually. The result showed that SV-IAT did not discriminate the level of RMA. In the second experiment, 30 new male participants, volunteered from the same college, engaged in the same SV-IAT task twice, one week before and immediately after the exposure to the video clip. After that, they were divided into two groups by the mean score of self-reported LSA to analyze the impact of the video clip according to individual difference. In the results, the directions of the change of implicit ASV in each groups were significantly different. That is, high LSA group became more supportive on ASV, and low LSA group more negative, measured by SV-IAT. However, the both groups' scores of RMA decreased non-significantly. In discussion, meanings of these results and applications of SV-IAT in sexual violence research were delineated.
