传媒暴力研究

传媒暴力研究（英语：Media violence research）研究如何对抗媒体暴力及其他透过媒体传播的暴力行为、现象及引起的暴力行为。例如网络霸凌，虽然许多社会科学相关领域都有这个议题，但针对这个领域目前仍缺乏相关的科学研究方法及理论。

媒体暴力研究追查，一个普及的媒体是否会影响潜在的暴力行为。部分研究者指出，媒体影响和暴力在关联研究有如吸烟和癌症的相关研究一般。研究人员指出，于媒体发表内容的作者低估了内容对潜在暴力的影响，一如吸烟者低估吸烟对罹患肺癌的影响。许多作者也认为媒体暴力研究得出的结论过于夸大 。 少部分的媒体研究者甚至认为媒体是引起侵略性的祸首，然而大部分的学者皆认为媒体研究者的讨论及担心有点夸大了媒体的效果(Freedman, 2002; Pinker 2002; Savage, 2004)。

传媒暴力研究学者Rowell Huesmann指出“引起严重的攻击性，是来自原有的复杂因素加上触媒” 。也有许多以其他看待攻击行为的存在观点，例如攻击行为来自生理或基因(see the work of Hare, 1993, Larsson, Andershed, & Lichtenstein, In Press, among others)，也有学者认为攻击行为可以解释为演化心理学的反应。。

对于媒体可能造成有害影响的指控并不是新闻，柏拉图就曾批评过戏剧对年轻人的影响。许多媒体，包括漫画、爵士乐、摇滚乐、龙与地下城和廉价小说等，都被一些人认定有可能造成读者变的更具攻击性、反叛性及行为上不道德。

1960年代电视的诞生为研究者提供了研究效果影响的新媒体。许多研究者被心理学家阿尔波特·班杜拉的社会学习理论所引导。社会学习理论指出人类的学习行为是经由一连串的模式学习。社会学习理论和其他对于攻击性的研究及方法不同，更多关注在神经心理学理论及研究方法上。

研究方法

研究模型包括媒体使用者在长期及短期曝光于媒体暴力之下，和行为间的连结、影响。在短期媒体暴力研究中发现，暴力曝光会增加人的兴奋感、对暴力的认知和机械性的模仿。
