"Who Am I Supposed To Be?" How Media Affect the Identity Formation of Young Adults.
Philpott, Nicola
English Quarterly, v32 n1-2 p66-73 2000
Investigates how media have influenced identity formation of young adults (17-19 years). Concludes that while the media can and does exert some influence on the personal identity of young adults, it is tempered by the other influencing factors in their lives, and does not seem to lead them in a direction that is completely foreign to them.
