Abstract

The article I chose to study is from the volume 89 of the Journal of Personality and social Psychology, published in 2005 by the American Psychological Association. It deals with a research supported by National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. I chose this one since, like the article that I chose for my oral presentation, it tries to explain the influence of exposure to television's sexual content on adolescents' sexual behavior. Indeed, it's a subject which interests me because teenagers spend a lot of time in front of TV and I wonder what effects it produces on their behavior. I will focus on the sexual content since I noticed that several American programs intended for adolescents to deal with sex as a game. For instance, in One Tree Hill, the adolescent characters never talk about condoms, as a result that all the women wonder if they are pregnant! It shows that they don't use any protection, so I think that teenagers who see regularly this kind of experience on TV may take it in model, and the consequences may be terrible (risk of having an unplanned pregnancy and acquiring a sexually transmitted disease (STD)).
