The Influence of Pornography Exposure Towards Female University Students
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of pornography exposure towards female university students in Malaysia’s setting. Data is collected from 875 female university students from three public universities in Malaysia. Quantitative research methodology is used in this study, utilising closed-ended questionnaires as the instrument. Raw data is analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings of this study show that there is a moderate positive relationship between pornography exposure and sexual activities among female university students. As hypothesised, there is also a positive relationship between pornography exposure and sexual desires among female university students. Furthermore, the association between pornography exposure and permissive sexual attitude among female university students is moderately positive. These results replicate the outcomes of past research studies even though respondents in this study are all female. The findings of this study enhance the understanding of pornography exposure and its influence towards female university students. It could be used as reference for the future development of strategies and intervention programs to reduce and mitigate its negative consequences.
