Just to reiterate for those whom might have missed the original msg.
I am less interested in the discussing Zillman's work about fear and
sex than I am in discussing the dilemma that we might face if we
found, and consistently found something that might be potentially harmful
to a particular group.
Zillman's work is not well known to me but I understand that this is
the product of a long-term highly respected research program.
To Matthew: Psychology (and other institutionalized disciplines like it)
is inherently elitist in that a) its members are elite within the social
structure and b) the training is such that we come to value a version
of success and to denigrate failure.  Without some belief along these lines
no one would ever work hard enough to get a degree.  The degree of elitism
certainly varies across individuals, but I think the nature of the system
encourages us to be elitist in both subtle and obvious ways.
