Abstract

Exposure to televised music videos and pro wrestling were associated with rape acceptance (lower levels of agreeing with the statement “forcing a partner to have sex is never OK”) among males, but not females, in a sample of 904 middle school students (controlling for overall television exposure, parenting style, and demographics).
