👤 About
Neil Moshe Malamuth is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, known for his research on sexual violence and the effects of pornography on its viewers. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society.
I am an interdisciplinary social scientist who studies violence and conflict, including an emphasis on mass media effects. Most of our research has focused on identifying the characteristics of men who commit sexual aggression against women. As part of that research we have examined whether exposure to sexually explicit media and/or sexually violent pornography may be an added risk factor to the other risk factors we have identified as part of the Confluence Model we have developed. Thousands of men from Canada, United States, and Denmark have participated in our various studies. We have used a variety of research methods, including surveys, field studies, and controlled experiments. This research has received honors and distinctions and has been cited in the formation of public policy and law in several countries. For over twenty years, I chaired the Communication Studies Program, the Department of Speech, and I was the founding Chair of the Department of Communication Studies. I also was a faculty member at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada and the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor.
