TV shows for teens continue to feature stereotyped characters that perpetuate gender differences

A recent study has sought to identify and analyse adolescents’ favourite kinds of characters in Spanish TV series for teens. The series in the study are fictional and feature characters that specifically target teenagers and a younger audience. The work by the researchers María José Masanet, of the Department of Communication at UPF, and Maddalena Fedele, of Ramon Llull University, was published in Palabra Clave in April.
