Desensitization has been found to be an important factor contributing to

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desensitization occurs when repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to a decrease in emotional response to that stimulus. This can lead to the violence-viewing effect, where individuals become less sensitive to violence and aggression after repeated exposure, potentially leading to increased aggressive behavior. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Latent learning and extrinsic motivation are not directly related to desensitization, and while conditioned taste aversions can also involve desensitization, it is not as significant as the violence-viewing effect.
