In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the issue of countermeasures against child pornography crimes, and many studies have been conducted. However, almost no empirical research has been conducted on creative works similar to child pornography. In this study, we focused on manga (hereinafter referred to as child pornography comics), which are particularly easy to purchase among creative works, and examined the relationship between the use of child pornography comics and attitudes toward acceptance of sexual acts toward girls. The purpose was to Specifically, we measured acceptance attitudes by presenting participants with four scenarios regarding sexual behavior toward girls and asking them to rate each scenario to what extent they found it acceptable. Consider the relationship with experience.
Participants: 248 university students (86 males, 161 females, 1 unknown, mean age 20.71 years, SD = 1.17) were tested under the event condition group (condition in which the content of the scenario was presented as an event that actually occurred). Manga condition group (conditions in which the content of the scenario is presented as if it were depicted in a manga) and adult video condition group (conditions in which the content of the scenario is presented as if it were depicted in an adult video). Divided into 3 groups. As a result, there were 88 participants in the event condition group, 80 participants in the manga condition group, and 80 participants in the adult video condition group. Scenario As a result of classifying 220 child pornography comics depicting children under the age of 13 using homogeneity analysis and cluster analysis, the results were divided into the ``romantic relationship'' group, ``lolicon'' group, and ``teacher'' group. Four groups were extracted: the ``assault'' group, and the ``assault'' group. Based on the results, she created four scenarios regarding sexual acts with girls. 1. Romantic relationship scenario: A scenario in which a man and a girl are in a romantic relationship and have consensual sex; 2. Lolicon scenario: A man who identifies as a lolicon has sexual intercourse with his younger sister. , 3 Teacher Scenario: A scenario in which a male teacher has sexual intercourse with a female student, and 4 Assault Scenario: A scenario in which a male forcefully engages in sexual intercourse with a female student he does not know. In all of his scenarios, the man was around 25 years old, and he specified that the girl knew she was under 13. Research Procedures This study was conducted with prior approval from the Toyo University Research Ethics Committee. In addition, before the start of the survey, we explained that this research contained sexual content, that cooperation in the survey was voluntary, and that we would protect personal information, and that we conducted the survey only to those who consented. went. Participants were asked to respond to each scenario using a five-point scale ranging from "acceptable" to "unacceptable." He also asked for answers on two counts regarding whether he had ever used child pornography comics depicting children under the age of 13.
Result
The attitude towards acceptance of sexual acts towards girls in each scenario is
As a result of a two-way analysis of variance using the categorical variable, condition group × experience of using child pornography comics as an independent variable, only the main effect of experience of using child pornography comics was significant in the romantic relationship scenario (F (5, 242)=24.99, p< .001, η2= .09). In the lolicon scenario, the experience of using child porn comics (F(5, 242)=26.73, p< .001, η2= .0
and the condition (F(5, 242)=28.30, p< .001, η2= .17 ), the interaction (F(5, 242)=8.91, p< .001, η2=.05) was significant. A simple main effects test revealed that there was a significant difference in the adult video group in terms of whether children's girlfriends had experience using Runo Comics (F(1, 242) = 41.21, p <.001). In the teacher scenario, the experience of using child porn comics (F(5, 242)=54.10, p< .001, η2= .15) and the condition (F(5, 242)=32.18, p< .001, η2= . 1
, the interaction (F(5, 242)=9.00, p< .001, η2= .07) was significant. A simple main effect test revealed that the manga group had experience using child pornography comics (F(1, 242) = 7.61, p < .01), and the adult video group had experience using child pornography comics. There was a significant difference (F ( 1 , 242) = 70.38, p < .001). In the assault scenario, the experience of using child pornography comics (F(5, 242)=8.50, p< .01, η2= .03) and the condition (F(5, 242)=13.31, p< .001, η2= .10), and the interaction (F(5, 242)=3.07, p< .05, η2=.02) was significant. A simple main effect test revealed a significant difference between the adult video group and whether or not they had experience using child porn comics (F (1, 242) = 13.45, p < .001).
Consideration
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between acceptance of sexual acts toward girls and experiences of using child pornography and comics. As a result, she found that there is a relationship between acceptance of sexual acts towards girls and experience of using child pornography comics. Specifically, it was shown that a scenario in which a man and a girl are in a romantic relationship is more likely to be accepted if they have experience using child pornography comics.
In addition, in the scenario where an actor who identifies as a lolicon performs a sexual act on his sister, and where the actor forcibly performs a sexual act on a girl he does not know, the content is from a girlfriend's Dalt video and is considered child pornography. It was shown that those who had experience using comics tended to be more accepting. However, the average value of acceptance attitude is low for the assault scenario Kanojo Rio. Furthermore, in a scenario where a male teacher commits sexual acts against a female student, the content is from a male teacher or an adult video, and those who have experience using child porn comics tend to be more likely to accept it. People use child pornography comics because they have no objection to sexual content or are interested in it, so it is thought that they tend to accept creative works such as manga and adult videos. Also, since adult videos are widely distributed, there is a tendency to accept them in particular.
