目的：确定在青少年中流行的电影中，共同参与暴力和其他危险行为的角色的程度。我们假设暴力角色在适合12岁以上儿童的电影（PG-13）和限制级电影（R）中同样经常从事其他危险行为。方法：对1985年至2010年票房收入最高的电影样本进行内容分析（n = 390）。我们编码的电影至少有一个主要人物参与暴力和性，烟草，或酒精使用在5分钟的电影片段和整个film.RESULTS：大约90%的电影包含一个片段的主要人物参与暴力，和类似的77%的电影有相同的字符从事至少1个其他风险行为。一个暴力的角色被描绘成最经常参与与酒精有关的行为和性行为。G级和PG级电影的共现率低于PG-13级或R级电影，但PG-13级和R级电影在暴力与其他危险行为共现方面没有统计学差异。这些趋势并没有随着时间的推移而变化。结论：包含暴力角色的流行电影也显示这些角色从事其他危险行为。PG-13级和R级电影之间相似的共同出现率表明，美国电影协会的评级系统对暴力和酒精，性和烟草相关的风险行为的联合描述并不敏感。屏幕上的暴力与其他危险行为的聚集引起了人们的关注，值得进一步研究。
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which movies popular with adolescents feature characters who jointly engage in violence and other risk behaviors. We hypothesized that violent characters engage in other risk behaviors equally often in films rated appropriate for children over 12 (PG-13) and Restricted (R)-rated films.METHODS: Content analysis of a sample of top-grossing movies from 1985 to 2010 (n = 390). We coded movies for the presence of at least 1 main character who was involved in violence and either sex, tobacco, or alcohol use within a 5-minute movie segment and throughout a film.RESULTS: Approximately 90% of the movies contained a segment with a main character involved in violence, and similar to 77% of the films had the same character engaging in at least 1 other risk behavior. A violent character was portrayed most often partaking in alcohol-related and sexual behaviors. G and PG movies had less co-occurrence than PG-13 or R-rated movies, but there was no statistical difference between PG-13 and R-rated movies with regards to violence co-occurring with other risk behaviors. These trends did not vary over time.CONCLUSIONS: Popular films that contain violent characters also show those characters engaging in other risk behaviors. Similar rates of co-occurrence between PG-13 and R-rated films suggest that the Motion Picture Association of America ratings system is not sensitive to the joint portrayal of violence and alcohol, sex, and tobacco-related risk behaviors. The on-screen clustering of violence with other risk behaviors is cause for concern and worthy of additional research.
