本研究考察了长期（即反复和累积）介导的政治暴力暴露对政治冲突意识形态信仰的影响。它的中心是这些对年轻观众的影响，从青春期前到青少年。意识形态信仰在这里指的是对战争的支持，对国家威胁的感知，以及对外族侵略的规范性信仰。对亲身经历巴以冲突的以色列和巴勒斯坦青年样本进行了纵向研究（N = 1,207）。测试了两种可供选择的假设：通过媒体的长期接触增加了对战争和侵略的支持，提高了威胁感，或者通过媒体的长期接触加强了已有的信念。结果表明，高水平的暴露与更强的战争支持有纵向关系。在关于侵略和国家威胁的规范性信念方面，中介暴露强化了初始信念，使青少年的态度更加极端。这些结果大多支持媒体暴力和行为之间关系的概念化，即“相互决定”或“强化螺旋”。研究结果还讨论了直接接触政治暴力和通过媒体接触政治暴力的影响之间的差异。
This study examines the effects of chronic (i.e., repeated and cumulative) mediated exposure to political violence on ideological beliefs regarding political conflict. It centers on these effects on young viewers, from preadolescents to adolescents. Ideological beliefs refers here to support of war, perception of threat to one's nation, and normative beliefs concerning aggression toward the out-group. A longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of Israeli and Palestinian youths who experience the Israeli-Palestinian conflict firsthand (N = 1,207). Two alternative hypotheses were tested: that chronic exposure via the media increases support for war and aggression and elevates feeling of threat, or that chronic exposure via the media strengthens preexisting beliefs. Results demonstrated that higher levels of exposure were longitudinally related to stronger support for war. Regarding normative beliefs about aggression and threat to one's nation, mediated exposure reinforced initial beliefs, rendering the youths more extreme in their attitudes. These results mostly support the conceptualization of the relation between media violence and behaviors as “reciprocally determined” or “reinforcing spirals.” The results are also discussed in light of the differences found between the effect of exposure to political violence firsthand and exposure via the media.
