The media plays an important role in gender-role socialization, with television, film and other forms of popular culture being used to reinforce traditional gender stereotypes. Studies have shown that the media often portrays men as more powerful than women, reinforcing the idea that female roles are subservient to male roles (Lauzen & Dozier, 2005). This is also reflected in the unequal representation of genders on screen; for example, males dominate lead roles in films whilst females tend to be portrayed as supporting characters or accessories (Campbell & Kohlman 2007). This can then influence viewers’ perceptions of how they should act according to their gender and limit their ability to think outside traditional gender norms.
In addition, research has found that depictions of violence against women are common themes in many forms of entertainment media such as video games and horror films (Gerbner et al., 1994). This contributes to a culture which normalises abuse against women and reinforces notions that it is acceptable behavior. As a result this may shape people’s views about appropriate relationships between men and women which could ultimately contribute to high levels of domestic abuse.
Overall, it can be seen that the media has significant impact on society’s understanding of gender-roles by promoting certain behaviors and characteristics associated with each sex. Therefore measures should be taken so that content is produced responsibly without perpetuating damaging stereotypes.
