Preferred term

desensitization effects  

Definition(s)

  • Desensitization is a process through which repeated exposure, without incident, to a stimulus that naturally evokes a powerful emotional response leads to a lessening of that response. That is, if a subject is repeatedly exposed to a stimulus, and if no negative outcome arises from the exposure, the subject's reaction to the exposure will eventually be lessened. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Desensitization Effects]
