Media violence is often accompanied by moral disengagement cues that allow viewers to minimize the moral concerns that violence in real life typically evokes. What happens, however, when preceding media activate viewers’ moral emotions? Can the affective states associated with elevation decrease subsequent enjoyment of media violence? The current study examined these questions with a one-factor, between-subjects experiment that tested how prior exposure to eudaimonic media affects viewers’ violence enjoyment and prosocial attitudes. Feelings of meaningful affect elicited by eudaimonic media decreased viewers’ enjoyment of violent media and increased prosocial attitudes. Evidence for a boomerang effect through mixed affect and transportation was also found. The implications of these findings for media violence interventions and theory on enjoyment are discussed.

高程会降低观众对媒体暴力的享受吗？

媒体暴力往往伴随着道德脱离接触的暗示，使观众能够将现实生活中通常会引起暴力的道德关注降至最低。但是，当先前的媒体激发观众的道德情感时会发生什么？与海拔相关的情感状态会减少随后遭受媒体暴力的乐趣吗？当前的研究通过一个单因素，受试者之间的实验检验了这些问题，该实验测试了以前接触过eudaimonic媒体的方式如何影响观看者的暴力享受和亲社会态度。eudaimonic媒体引起的有意义影响的感觉降低了观众对暴力媒体的享受，并增加了亲社会态度。还发现了通过混合情感和运输产生飞旋镖效果的证据。
