Document Summary
Synthesized realism (easterbrook, 1996) : a mixture of actual information with phony details blended into a realistic portrayal that is really fiction. When this mixture is done with sufficient skill, people cannot tell the difference. 1-year-olds average over 2 hours of viewing per day, and 3-year-olds average. Media: television and videogames: over 3 hours (christakis et al. , 2004). male characters on television are older and occupy more prestigious positions than female characters (glascock, 2001; signarielli, 2004). M are more often the leading characters in drama and adventure programs, activities that take them away from home and family relationships. M are disproportionately depicted as police officers and criminals (scharrer, 2001). W are devalued by being less visible and less credible on television. In television entertainment programming, w are younger, less likely to be employed, and more likely to appear in secondary and comedy roles than are male characters (signorielli, 2004).
