This approach examines the assumption that males play violent video games more because they anticipate more enjoyment and less guilt from engaging in virtual violence than females. This may be because males are less empathetic, tend to morally justify physical violence more and have a greater need for sensation and aggression in video game play than females. Results of a path model based on survey data of 444 respondents and using multi-step multiple mediation analyses confirm these assumptions. Taken together, the findings of this study shed further light on the gender gap in violent video game use.}, language = {en} } @article{KraheBieneckMoeller2005, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Bieneck, Steffen and M{\"o}ller, Ingrid}, title = {Understanding gender and intimate partner violence from an international perspective}, issn = {0360-0025}, year = {2005}, abstract = {This paper reviews the international literature on intimate partner violence with a focus on gender differences in perpetration and victimization rates.

In addition, evidence on risk factors as well as consequences of intimate partner violence for men and women is presented.

For each participant, ratings of prosocial and aggressive behavior were obtained from their class teacher. Media violence exposure was a unique predictor of teacher-rated aggression even when relevant covariates were considered, and it predicted prosocial behavior over and above gender. Path analyses confirmed a direct positive link from media violence usage to teacher-rated aggression for girls and boys, but no direct negative link to prosocial behavior was found. Indirect pathways were identified to higher aggressive and lower prosocial behavior via the acceptance of aggression as normative. Although there were significant gender differences in media violence exposure, aggression, and prosocial behavior, similar path models were identified for boys and girls.}, language = {en} } @article{KraheMoeller2004, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and M{\"o}ller, Ingrid}, title = {Playing violent electronic games, hostile attributional style, and aggression-related norms in German adolescents}, issn = {0140-1971}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The relationship was examined between exposure to and preference for violent electronic games and aggressive norms as well as hostile attributional style. Following a pilot study to sample widely used electronic games varying in violent content, 231 eighth-grade adolescents in Germany reported their use of and attraction to violent electronic games. They also completed measures of hostile attributional style and endorsement of aggressive norms. There were significant gender differences in usage and attraction to violent electronic games, with boys scoring higher than girls. Significant relationships were found between attraction to violent electronic games and the acceptance of norms condoning physical aggression. Violent electronic games were linked indirectly to hostile attributional style through aggressive norms. The findings are discussed with respect to North American research on the aggression-enhancing effect of violent electronic games.

In this study, 303 undergraduates saw a violent film clip to elicit anxiety. Increases in skin conductance level (SCL) and state anxiety (STA) from baseline were measured to identify repressors (high SCL, low STA) and contrast them with sensitizers (low SCL, high STA) and genuinely low anxious individuals (low SCL, low STA). State anger was also recorded. Trait measures of vigilance and cognitive avoidance were collected 2 weeks earlier. Significant SCL x STA interactions indicated that repressors scored higher on cognitive avoidance and lower on vigilance compared to sensitizers and low anxious participants. Repressors were less likely than sensitizers to report gaze avoidance during the clip. The anger by SCL interaction was nonsignificant, suggesting that repressors and sensitizers differ specifically in the processing of anxiety rather than negative affect in general.}, language = {en} } @article{KraheWaizenhoeferMoeller2003, author = {Krah{\´e}, Barbara and Waizenh{\"o}fer, Eva and M{\"o}ller, Ingrid}, title = {Women's sexual aggression against men : prevalence and predictors}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{Moeller2007, author = {M{\"o}ller, Ingrid}, title = {Emotionen beim Konsum von Bildschirmspielen}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Emotionen spielen sowohl bei der Auswahl als auch w{\"a}hrend des Konsums von Bildschirmspielen eine bedeutsame Rolle.
