A recent Supreme Court case conferred the FCC with the ability to increase the fines for profane language on television as well as to expand their definition of what is deemed offensive.

The current studies sought to examine the effect of exposure to profane language on human behavior. Specifically, we tested whether profane language would impact factors related to self-control.

A third study provides evidence that exposure to profanity decreases the perception of the strictness of social norms by those who are exposed to it.
