According to Fisher and Barak (2001) , what general conclusion can be drawn about the effects of viewing pornography based on existing findings?

A) Existing findings by and large have concluded that self-directed exposure to sexually explicit media causes violence toward women.
B) No study has asserted a connection between watching pornography and violence toward women.
C) A connection has been difficult to ascertain since most studies use inmate populations.
D) Existing findings by and large have failed to confirm fears of strong antisocial effects of self-directed exposure to sexually explicit media.

According to Fisher and Barak (2001), existing findings have generally failed to confirm fears of strong antisocial effects of self-directed exposure to sexually explicit media. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because existing findings by and large have not concluded that self-directed exposure to sexually explicit media causes violence toward women. Option B is incorrect because some studies have asserted a connection between watching pornography and violence toward women. Option C is incorrect because only some studies use inmate populations, and a connection has been observed in non-inmate populations as well.
