Abstract
Introduction
Pornography is a billion-dollar industry with harmful societal implications, such as human trafficking and exploitation of minors (Humphreys et al., 2019).
Research shows links between pornography usage and hostile and benevolent sexist attitudes toward women (Hald et al., 2013; Wright & Bae, 2015).
Pornography consumption also correlates with sexual objectification and pro-violence attitudes toward women (Wright & Tokunaga, 2016).
Studies show that the consumption of violent pornography is correlated with pro-rape and other sexually aggressive beliefs. (e.g., Demaré et al., 1993).
A meta-analysis shows that in nonexperimental studies, there is a significant relationship between exposure to pornography and beliefs supporting nonsexual violence against women (Hald et al., 2010).
Overall, less is known about pornography and attitudes toward domestic violence. This study focuses on the correlation between greater investment in pornography and domestic violence myth acceptance.
