TV and Zines: Media and the Construction of Gender for Early Adolescents.
Blair, Heather A.; Sanford, Kathy
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v45 n1 p103-05 Spr 1999
Research involving junior high school students in a white upper-middle class suburban community in western Canada examined how television and magazines influenced teenagers' gender identity, how girls and boys dealt with these influences, and how advertising reinforced patriarchal structures presented by media. Single-sex classes may provide a framework for rethinking gender imbalances. Contains 21 references. (TD)
