You can talk to teens all you want about sex, but if you want to drive home healthy messages about consent, maybe you should have them watch.
In the criminal justice system, sexually based offences are considered especially heinous 1. Law In Order, special victims' unit.Really,ompared with other TV shows, anyway, because a study finds that college students who watched the episodes of the various Law In Order had a better undersrtanding of sexual consent issue than than those who watched two other crime procedural franchises 3, CIS, CSI. The research is in the journal, Of Health Communication.
For the study researchers asked more than three hundred college freshmen 4 if they agree or disagree if a woman was raped 6 , she is at least somewhat responsible, a concept called Rape 5-Myth-Acceptance. The students were also asked about their intentions to seekconsent for sexual activity and their intentions to refuse sexual activity. The result, the college students who watched rape from the headline Law In Order vs the other shows had strong views about consent and were less likely to accept rape mythology 7. Watching CSI where the victim is often dead or treated as a piece of evidence, was associated with lowered intentions to seek consent and a greater acceptance of rape myth. Exposure to the NCIES franchise 2 was associated with decreased intentions to refuse unwanted sexual activity. Previous research found that the Law In Order shows directly challenge myth and stereotypes 8 related to sexual assaults,while CSI has been criticized for plotlines that enforce rape myth. So it turns out watching the shows at least for college age kids may have some effects on sexual consent , intentions and behavior, and when it comes to Law In Order, that effect could be positive.
