Abstract

The present paper researches the way adolescents' frustration tolerance changes under the influence of violence-based movies. The Rosenzweig frustration test was applied before and after watching such a film. The variables taken into consideration are: the index of group conformity as well as the paricipants' overall tendencies. The outcomes have revealed insignificant alterations with regard to tolerance of frustration as a result of watching violence-based movies. Still, there has also been revealed the parameters likely to change under such circumstances. Identifying the impact mass-media may have on frustration, could provide a way to reduce subsequent criminal acts.
