Title: Persistence of gender stereotypes in the media consumption habits of adolescents: drama for girls and humor for boys.
Authors: MASANET, MARIA-JOSE
Abstract: There are few studies on the habits of media consumption of adolescents and young people focused on gender differences in Spain. This study intends to focus on this research line through a quantitative study. The administration of 787 questionnaires to adolescents from Barcelona (Spain) reveals interesting results: adolescents make a media consumption stereotyped by gender. Girls consume more dramatic products -with focus on interpersonal relationships- and boys consume more humor and videogames. In addition, girls are subjected to more family controls than boys in their media consumption.
