Self-concept, personality and perception of violence scenes (based on feature films materials). Part 2

In this study some personality variables as mediators between Self-conception and psychosemantic evaluation of movies with violence scenes were examined. Raw data were gathered from a sample consisted of 199 participants recruited from Perm Universities (100 men and99 women). Age ranged from 18 to 24. Research hypotheses were tested by means of structural equation modeling. Conditionally, three model levels of integration were singled out, namely, reductive, moderate, and high. The model of moderate level significantly fitted the data and was most probable. Data obtained evidenced in favor of self-actualization and sensation seeking variables served mediators between Self-conception and psychosemantic evaluation of movies with violence scenes. Findings give rise that selectivity of Self-conception and personality traits variables bringing into a moderate integration fashion are involved in psychosemantic evaluation of movies with violence scenes.
