Abstract

PIMENTEL, Carlos Eduardo  and  GUNTHER, Hartmut. Aggressive behavior in music shows: analyzing newspaper articles. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.63, n.2, pp.14-27. ISSN 1809-5267.

This paper reports a content analysis of the newspaper articles dealing with aggressive behavior in music shows. This analysis permits an understanding of the characteristics of these situations, the aggressive behaviors in shows, and the way in which the print media treat the subject. Despite of the newspapers’ influence on public opinion formation, that is, the transmission of attitudes and behavior repertoires, this kind of analysis is rarely reported in Brazilian social psychological literature. Some 31 newspaper articles were content analyzed as to aggressive behavior during music shows. Results indicate that aggressive behaviors occur in shows of most varied musical styles. Results are discussed on the basis of social cognitive theory.

Keywords : Newspapers; Aggressive behavior; Musical shows.
