O knihe
The link between watching televised wrestling matches and developing a culture of bullies in the United States is explored here. Increases in verbal aggression, rebellion and propensity toward violence and retaliation are measured against the media consumption of professional wrestling. This book begins with a brief history of professional wrestling, a summary of the criticisms of the sport, and a discussion of the author's research methods. One chapter discusses how gender socialization plays a part in the effects of wrestling on its viewers, arguing that wrestling goes beyond the image of physically violent acts to models of interpersonal behavior. The expansion of wrestling into storylines outside the ring includes problem situations involving class, race, homophobia and nationality, to which violence is often presented as a solution.
