Abstract
The present study explored for a relationship between early exposure to violent content on the internet with a focus on shock sites and desensitisation to violence. Research has suggested that various forms of media such as violent television, films, and controversially video games may lead to desensitisation to violence. The current study aimed to examine if these suggested relationships extend to violence witnessed through the internet with a focus on internet shock sites. This focus was placed due to both prevalence in prior research and the manner of the content displayed on these easily accessible websites. A total of 114 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 took part in the study.
