Race, Media, and Violence: Differential Racial Effects of Exposure to Violent News Stories - Basic and Applied Social Psychology
An experiment was conducted to assess whether effects of exposure to violent media information would vary as a function of target person race. Participants were exposed to violent or nonviolent media information and subsequently made judgments of a violent act committed by a Black, White, or race unspecified man. The most relevant findings indicated that perceptions did not vary as a function of violence exposure for the White and race unspecified defendant. On the other hand, for Black defendants, participants exposed to violent information made attributions of his behavior that were more dispositional than those exposed to nonviolent information. The findings also indicated that when compared to men, women tended to make attributions of defendant behavior that were more dispositional. Finally, when compared to attributions of the White defendant's behavior, attributions of the Black defendant were more dispositional.
