Violent media preferences among adolescents

本研究通过开发日本版的《耸人听闻的兴趣问卷》（Egan et al., 1999）来调查青少年对暴力媒体的偏好，并测量不同类型媒体对媒体暴力的使用。对13-18岁的日本青少年进行了在线问卷调查。结果发现了SIQ的三个因素：对恐怖和神秘的兴趣，对军事的兴趣和对犯罪和犯罪的兴趣。暴力媒体的使用是按媒体类型来考虑的，而恐怖或神秘媒体内容的使用是按媒体类型来考虑的。对暴力媒体偏好和媒体暴力使用与异化、侵略和抑郁之间的关联进行了建模，不同的暴力媒体偏好与不同的媒体使用有关。

This study investigated violent media preferences among adolescents through developing the Japanese version of Sensational Interests Questionnaire (Egan et al., 1999) and measuring the use of media violence across types of media. Online questionnaire surveys were administered to Japanese samples of adolescents aged 13-18 years. As a result, three factors of SIQ were found: interests in horror and occult, interests in military affairs and interests in crime and delinquency. The use of violent media was factored by the type of media, whereas the use of horror or occult media contents was factored across the type of media. The associations of violent media preferences and the use of media violence with alienation, aggression and depression were modelled, with different violent media preferences linked to different media use.
