Predicting Bystander Efficacy And Willingness To Intervene In College Men And Women: The Role Of Exposure To Varying Levels Of Violence In Pornography, John D. Foubert, Ana J. Bridges Ph.D.

Students from two research universities completed items measuring the frequency
of their using different kinds of pornography, and measures of their willingness and
intent to intervene to help a bystander who might be experiencing sexual violence.
Hierarchical logistic regressions showed that for men, violent/degrading pornography
use, but not explicit but non-degrading pornography use, was significantly associated
with reduced bystander willingness to intervene, but not associated with bystander
efficacy. Women did not show the same impact of violent/degrading pornography
use on the two bystander intervention variables. Results suggest violence/degrading
pornography may contribute to a culture of acceptance of violence against women.

Students volunteered to take an online survey as one of several options for course credit in a research participation system in a School of Education at a midwestern public university. Men’s extrinsic religiosity was positively correlated with their use of Internet pornography and negatively correlated with willingness to intervene as …
