Research Findings on Trigger Warnings
A recent study examined the effectiveness of trigger warnings for emotionally challenging content. It found that both traditional and modified trigger warnings do not significantly reduce distress in individuals, including those who may be more vulnerable due to anxiety or trauma.
Study Overview
The study involved 606 university students who were split into three groups: one received a traditional trigger warning, another a modified warning, and the last group received no warning at all. After viewing distressing content, their levels of negative emotions were measured.
Main Findings
Despite the careful design of the study, the type of trigger warning did not lead to a reduction in negative emotions. Individuals with higher anxiety sensitivity or post-traumatic stress symptoms experienced more distress overall, but the type of warning did not change their reactions.
