- Abstract
THis paper reviews the gender stereotypes in traditional media (e.g. television and films), printed media (e.g. magazines and printed advertisements), and social media regarding how these contents influence adolescents’ perception of gender roles. The majority of literature focuses on adolescents in western countries, and a few of them include Asian countries, however, none of them studies Chinese adolescents. After reviewing several previous studies, this paper summarizes that male and female characters tend to be depicted stereotypically in traditional media and printed media; and in social media, adolescents tend to present themselves in a stereotyped way. These phenomena indicate that they will subsequently influence adolescents’ attitudes and behaviors in multidimensional aspects. The review of literature contributes to further studies on the potential impact of new media on adolescents’ perception of gender roles.
