- Description
- Young viewers encounter content in the media that they are not able to distinguish from reality are not confined to sexually explicit internet material. That’s the same case with less explicit, but nonetheless unrealistic, sexual content in more mainstream media such as music videos. For example, in a highly publicized case, rap and hiphop culture and its sexually stereotypical music videos in particular, were said to have inspired 13-year old teenagers to engage in sexual assault. That's why politicians and other critical voices from society requested that young people are taught to put sexual media content in perspective. To know whether such requests are warranted and how they can be addressed, however, we first need to understand whether and how sexual media content affects young people, which young people are affected most and which are not. This dissertation aims to contribute to this understanding.
