The dissertation explored the effects of the combination of different levels of sexual explicitness and violence severity on pornography viewers' emotional response, implicit memory of, and implicit attitudes towards sex and violence. Based on the Limited Capacity Model of Motivated Mediated Message Processing (LC4MP; Lang, 2006) and the General Aggression Model (GAM; Anderson & Bushman, 2002), it was hypothesized that, sexual and violent content in pornography would exert co-activating effects on viewers' appetitive and aversive system. Research questions and hypotheses were posed to examine if the activation of the appetitive system by the sexual content would inhibit the activation of the aversive system by the violent content, and therefore resulted in worse implicit memory of, as well as more positive emotional response and attitudes towards the violent content and concepts. Or, conversely, the activation of the aversive system would inhibit the activation of the appetitive system.In the experiment, each participant was exposed to one two-minute sexually explicit video clip. Their emotional response towards the video clip, implicit memory of sexual and aggressive constructs, implicit attitudes towards sexual and aggressive concepts, and implicit association between sexual and aggressive concepts were measured. No effects were found on participants' implicit memory and attitudes toward aggressive concepts for sexual explicitness, violence severity, or participant gender. The influence of sexual explicitness was also limited. In addition, low severity violence was mainly ignored by participants that it neither inhibited participants' cognitive accessibility of sexual constructs, nor changed participants' self-report positivity or negativity towards the pornographic video clips. On the other hand, high severity violence content was the main influence in participants' affective valence, implicit memory of, and attitudes towards sexual concepts, and implicit associations between sex and aggression. The most alarming finding of the current study is that in the explicit sex condition, high severity violence did not inhibit but enhance male participants' implicit memory of the sexual constructs.The study contributes to build a more comprehensive understanding of the varies mechanisms of violent pornographic content on aggression against women. Results of the current study suggest interventions for sexual aggression from a cognitive psychology perspective.
