Social Influences on Pornography Consumption:
Information and Social Pressure in the Pornography Consumption Decision

Faculty Advisor: Min Sok Lee, Assistant Senior Instructional Professor of Economics

Shira’s thesis is an investigation into how specific priming conditions affect self-reported “comfort levels” with different pornographic vignettes and how social contexts, such as receiving more information about pornography itself, may shape decisions around what kind of pornography to consume.
