The role of women in Puerto Rican television
A content analysis of prime time television in Puerto Rico revealed that women are cast in very traditional and stereotypical roles as compared to men. As in prime time television in the US, women in Puerto Rican television are grossly under-represented and tend to be younger, richer, and more frequently married than men. Women are also less involved in violence but more involved in sexual episodes than are men. The study discusses the possible effects that this stereotypical portrayal of women in television may have on viewers.
