Applied a reinforcement-affect model of evaluative responses to reactions to erotica. It was hypothesized that judgments of the pornographic quality of erotic stimuli and opinions about the value of legal restrictions on such sexual material are a function of the positive and negative affect elicited by the stimuli. 64 married Ss were exposed to 19 erotic themes in pictorial or verbal form and then assessed with respect to feelings, judgments, and opinions. Both positive and negative affective responses were associated with pornography judgments and with restrictiveness opinions for males; for females only negative affective responses were associated with these 2 response measures. Authoritarianism, religious preference, and church attendance were also predictor variables. (23 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
