”DET ÄR JU MYCKET HUR MAN SKA VARA FÖR ATT PASSA IN SOM TONÅRING, OCH DÅ SPELAR JU NORMERNA I MEDIA ROLL FÖR HUR MAN TYCKER OM SIG SJÄLV” -En studie om Tv´s påverkan för ungdomars identitetsskapande

In this thesis we have examined if some young people's identity is influenced by television programs. We chose to illustrate this from a gender perspective and have made use of social construction theory. We did group interviews with 13 youngsters, in three groups, to find out how much insight they had in what they watch, if they believe that they are affected and how they believe that gender roles in television programs often look. Our questions are: Does young people's identity take influence of the TV program? How? Creates a social construction of gender in the television programs that young people are watching? Is there awareness among young people on what they watch and how is this in this case out? Important to emphasize is that our results are not necessarily representative of youngsters in general when we only had the opportunity to interview a few. Our survey showed what many of the youngsters had very high awareness around the influence television programs hade on them; however we saw a clear difference between the groups that was two years younger than the other two groups. In the group with young adolescents awareness was not as great as the others. We found that young people had their own methods to rule out certain things they saw. Young people felt that even if they where affected much, they had hard to say exactly what influenced them.
