Atitudes frente a mídia streaming violenta : adaptação de uma medida e sua relação com variáveis da agressão

Abstract

With the advent of the internet, television media begins to be constantly transformed, undergoing changes in the traditional model as we knew it and giving way to its first streaming services (e.g., Netflix, HBO, Globo Play, Disney+). However, concern about the content watched and its ability to influence behavior has been of interest to a variety of scientific studies that demonstrate the relevance of the media for understanding a range of attitudes and behaviors, especially antisocial ones. Thus, the present dissertation aimed to analyze the relationship between exposure to violent streaming media, aggression and arousal. To this end, three studies were carried out (1.1 and 1.2 validation and adaptation studies; and 2.0 a transparency study). The results demonstrated that the Scale of Attitudes towards Violence in Streaming presented satisfactory psychometric indices for both the Exploratory Factor Analysis (AFE) and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), proving to be a valid and adapted instrument for the Brazilian context. In the correlational study, it was possible to observe, in general, a positive glow between violent streaming media and aggression and excitement. Therefore, it is concluded that the objectives of the present study were satisfactorily achieved, confirming that there are relationships between the variables addressed and corroborating other studies in the area.
