| | Statement of Dr. Ted S. Palys: |
 | | Although their theoretical interests are in the effects of exposure to violent pornography on "people", the specific research participants who participated in Donnerstein and Berkowitz (1981), as is the case in virtually all the studies cited by Malamuth, were male, introductory psychology students who volunteered to take part in the study. |
 | | In comparison to Western nations, Japan has a substantially lower incidence of rape: in the United States there are 34.5 reported rapes per 100,000 population; in England, 10,1; in West Germany, 10.7; in France, 3.2; and, in Japan, 2.4. |
