| Abstract: | Three studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that high trait aggressive individuals are more affected by violent media than are low trait aggressive individuals. In study 1, participants read film descriptions and then chose a film to watch. High trait aggressive individuals were more likely to choose a violent film to watch than were low trait aggressive individuals. In study 2 , participants reported their mood before and after the showing of a violent and non-violent videotape. High trait aggressive individuals felt more angry after viewing the violent videotape than did low trait aggressive individuals. |
