본 연구는 단기간의 성폭력 영상물 노출이 성폭력에 대해 암묵적으로 허용적인 태도를 갖게 하는 지를 검증해보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 성폭력에 대한 태도를 간접적으로 측정하는 암묵적 연합검사(SV-IAT)를 개발하고, 실재감이 높은 3D 성폭력 게임을 실험자극으로 하여, 성폭력 경향성 수준에 따라 단기간의 성폭력 영상물 노출로 암묵적 태도 및 명시적 태도가 어떻게 변화되는지를 살펴보았다. 먼저 SV-IAT의 구성타당도를 확인하기 위하여, 남자 대학생 80명 중 강간통념척도점수 고집단(상위 25%, 15명)과 저집단(하위 25%, 15명)의 SV-IAT의 점수를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 두 집단의 SV-IAT값에 유의미한 차이를 확인 할 수 없었다. 이후, 성폭력 가능성 고집단(HA)과 저집단(LA)에게 성폭력 영상물 노출 전후의 강간통념과 SV-IAT를 측정한 결과, SV-IAT 측정값에서 집단에 따라 암묵적 태도의 변화 방향이 유의미하게 다른 것으로 나타났다. 즉, HA집단은 성폭력 영상물 노출 후에 성폭력에 허용적인 태도로 변화된 반면, LA집단은 비허용적인 태도로 변화되었다. 그러나 강간통념척도에서의 변화양상은 두 집단 모두 같았는데, 영상물 노출 후 강간통념이 유의미하진 않으나, 다소 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 논의에서 이 결과들에 대한 의미와 성폭력 연구에 있어서 SV-IAT의 활용 가능성에 대해 기술하였다.
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.
