本文评估了注意和情感因素对色情电影引起的生理和主观性唤起的相对贡献。30名男性被试在观看一系列色情电影片段时,测量了性唤起、注意力和情绪反应。当受试者全神贯注于电影中描绘的活动时,当他们将所描绘的色情遭遇体验为食欲时,生理和主观性唤起的水平高于当他们分心并将遭遇视为厌恶时。相对于自然电影,色情电影引起了对刺激过程中突然出现的白色噪音的惊吓反应减弱,这表明在生理水平上,电影的色情片段被加工为更具食欲的效价。由色情片段M引起的性唤起水平,与受试者被电影娱乐的程度有关,即使描绘的性场景产生了相当大的焦虑。性反应与Tellegen吸收量表(Tellegen Absorption Scale)所指示的吸收特征测量值以及Betts心理意象问卷(Betts Questionnaire upon Mental Imagery)所评估的意象生动度均无显著相关性。性唤起与状态评估的注意力和情绪变量以及情绪反应的生理指标有关,表明性反应的多维度性质。未来的方向,男性性反应模式与女性的反应模式进行比较的建议。
The relative contribution of attentional and emotional factors to the physiological and subjective sexual arousal elicited by erotic film,vas evaluated. Sexual arousal attentional, and emotional responses were measured while 30 men M,ere presented with a series of erotic film segments. Levels of physiological and subjective sexual arousal were higher when subjects became absorbed in the activities portrayed in the film and when they experienced the depicted erotic encounters as appetitive, than when they were distracted and perceived the encounters as aversive. The erotic film elicited a diminished startle response to a sudden burst of white noise presented during stimulation relative to the nature film, suggesting that at a physiological level the erotic segments of film were processed as more appetitive in valence. The level of sexual arousal elicited by the erotic segments M,as related to the extent to which subjects were entertained by the film, even though there was considerable anxiety generated by the portrayed sexual scenarios. Sexual response was not significantly correlated with trait measures of absorption las indexed by the Tellegen Absorption Scale) nor with vividness of imagery las assessed by the Betts Questionnaire upon Mental Imagery). Arousal was related to state-assessed attentional and emotional variables, and physiological measures of emotional response, demonstrating the multidimensional nature of the sexual response. Future directions for comparing male sexual response patterns with female response patterns are suggested.
