帮助与攻击是社会心理学的核心问题。到目前为止，已经收集到大量证据表明，暴力媒体减少了帮助，增加了攻击。然而，最近的理论和实证研究表明，媒体也可能增加亲社会结果，减少反社会结果。事实上，接触含有亲社会内容的媒体增加了亲社会思想、共情和帮助行为的可及性，并减少了攻击和与攻击相关的认知和情感。本文回顾了这一研究，并概述了媒体曝光何时以及为什么会激发帮助并减少攻击。
Helping and aggression are core topics in social psychology. So far, abundant evidence that violent media decreases helping and increases aggression has been collected. However, recent theoretical and empirical work has demonstrated that the media may also increase prosocial outcomes and decrease antisocial outcomes. In fact, exposure to media with prosocial content increases the accessibility of prosocial thoughts, empathy, and helping behavior and decreases aggression and aggression-related cognition and affect. The present article reviews this research and provides an overview of when and why media exposure instigates helping and reduces aggression.
