Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate specific questions:
1) Are all the television programs shown during prime time viewing perceived as sex-role stereotyped? 2) Do all adolescents have similar trends in their perception of the different categories of programs? 3) How do the male and female adolescents compare in their perception of the same categories of programs?
