A) True
B) False

Answer 1

True, exposure to violent media content can lead to more aggressive thoughts and behaviors, including attitudes that support sexual violence against women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exposure to violent sexually explicit material often results in men adopting attitudes that are more supportive of sexual violence against women. The statement is True.

Research indicates that exposure to violent media content can have a desensitizing effect and is correlated with aggressive thoughts, which in some cases, extends to attitudes towards women and intimate partner violence (IPV).

Studies such as those by Krahe et al. (2011) and Gentile, Mathieson, and Crick (2011) have shown that there is a correlation between exposure to violent media and an increase in aggression. Moreover, women are significantly more likely to be victims of IPV, with approximately one-third experiencing domestic violence.
