Lashambe, BA, DAT ABSTRACT. The current research examined effects of exposure to Internet pornography on university men’s attitudes toward women. Study 1 assessed effects of increasing amounts of Internet pornography on undergraduate men’s (N = 24) attitudes toward women, self-reported likelihood of sexually harassing a woman, and rape myth acceptance, and no evidence of effects of Internet pornography was detected. Study 2 assessed relationships between individual difference factors (includ- ing sensation seeking, hypermasculinity, erotophobia-erotophilia, and past experience with sexually explicit material) and self-regulated ex- posure to Internet pornography in a free-choice situation, with the same dependent measures in a separate sample of undergraduate men (N = 31). While the individual difference factors were found to be related to self-regulated exposure to Internet pornography, as well as to the de- pendent measures, amount of exposure to Internet pornography per se had no detectable relationship with the dependent measures of misogy- nist attitudes. Discussion addresses future longitudinal research ex- amining whether individual difference factors and exposure to sexually Azy Barak, is affiliated with University of Haifa, Israel. William A.
