Abstract (croatian)

Cilj je ove studije ispitati hipotezu o medijaciji neoseksističkih stavova adolescenata u odnosu uporabe seksualiziranih medija (uključujući pornografiju) i prihvaćanja mitova o silovanju. Analizirani podaci prikupljeni su u tri vala longitudinalnog istraživanja na uzorku učenika zagrebačkih srednjih škola (136 mladića i 326 djevojaka). Testirana hipoteza o medijaciji nije potvrđena, no ustanovljene su neke spolno-specifične longitudinalne povezanosti konzumacije medija i pornografije s neoseksističkim stavovima i prihvaćanjem mitova o silovanju. Utvrđeno je da je viši stupanj neoseksizma karakterističan za djevojke (no ne i mladiće), koje više prihvaćaju mitove o silovanju. Nadalje, uporaba pornografije i ostalih seksualiziranih medija većinom se nije pokazala prediktivnom za prihvaćanje mitova o silovanju, a ni za negativna uvjerenja o statusu žena u modernim društvima (neoseksizam). Iznimka su gledanje filmova i serija na televiziji i internetu, što je među mladićima bilo pozitivno povezano s većim stupnjem neoseksizma, te uporaba pornografije, koja je kod djevojaka bila negativno povezana s prihvaćanjem mitova o silovanju žena. Nalazi ove studije upućuju na važnost daljnjega proučavanja uporabe seksualiziranih medija među mladima i identificiranja čimbenika povezanih s prihvaćanjem mitova o silovanju, no uzimajući u obzir moguće moderatorske prinose obiteljske i vršnjačke socijalizacije adolescenata.

Abstract (english)

This study explores whether neo-sexist attitudes mediate the
association between sexualized media use (including
pornography) and rape myths. In a 3-wave panel of
Croatian high-school students (136 male and 326 female
adolescents), the mediation hypothesis was not confirmed.
Moreover, the association between neo-sexism and rape
myths was conformed only among female adolescents (the
average acceptance of neo-sexism was higher in male than
female participants). Contrary to what was expected,
pornography use – which was unrelated to neo-sexism – was
negatively associated with rape myths in both male and
female adolescents, although the relationship was statistically
significant only among the latter. Among male participants,
watching movies and sequels on television or the Internet
was predictive for neo-sexist attitudes. This study's findings
point to the need of studying the use of sexualized media
among adolescents to identify factors associated with
trivialization and/or misinterpretation of sexual violence and
aggression. Considering that adolescents differ in their
susceptibility to the influence of media, future studies should
focus on possible moderation effects of family and peer
socialization.
