Title: Chapter 01 Question 01

1. What role do media play in shaping identities and norms related to sexuality?

Feedback: Media play a large role in the formation of our identities and norms. Media help to shape how we think of ourselves, and others, in terms of gender, class, and race. Media also help to create and dictate societal norm, including norms about sexuality (Kellner, 2003). From media, we learn what is "normal" (Chapter 15), what we "should" desire, and what to buy—or buy into—in order to achieve the most satisfaction and normalcy. The idea of what is "good" and what is "bad" is a social construction, and much of this social construction is created through media. Sometimes media are blatantly obvious in their intentions, but many times messages are conveyed through subtle advertising (Figure 1.1). What is portrayed in media does not necessarily reflect the reality of society; however, the ways in which characters are developed, plots played out, and topics focused on (or not) certainly provide insight into underlying attitudes about sexuality and LGBTQ+ individuals.

2. Dr. Green would like to conduct an experiment that compares views of acceptable sexual behaviour between two groups of youths: one that reports having viewed a lot of sexuality in media, and one that reports having viewed little sexuality in media. What might be some of the confounding (third variable) problems?

Feedback: A good response will discuss at least two confounding factors. One is that it is difficult to know whether children's self-reports were accurate; some may falsely claim not to see sex in the media for fear of getting in trouble, or some may falsely claim to have seen sexually explicit material in order to seem "mature." Another confound is that whether children have or have not seen sexually explicit material is not random and that factors such as parenting styles or religious beliefs may determine both whether a child has seen sexually explicit material and may influence what the child deems appropriate sexual behaviour. Thus, it would be difficult to conclude that views of appropriate sexual behaviour were "caused" by viewing or not viewing the sexually explicit material.

3. Describe at least two studies that have examined the impact of sexual imagery on consumer product recognition.

Feedback: Research into the effect of sex on consumer behaviour has produced mixed results. In some cases sexual material has no impact on the ability of the consumer to remember a product's name if the product is not sex related (e.g., Severn, Belch, and Belch (1990)) which suggests that sex may not help sales, but in other cases, such as Gallup Research (2012), consumers were found to be 77 per cent better at recalling a product's name if sex was used in the advertising, regardless of what the product was. It seems reasonable to conclude that sex can impact a consumer's behaviour but that it is not guaranteed to affect a consumer's behaviour.

4. Based on your textbook, what are the pros and cons related to the popularity of sexual content on the Internet?

Feedback: This development has led to the need for a variety of parental control features to help parents monitor the content that their children access online. The proliferation of online chat sites, message boards, role-playing systems (e.g. Second Life), and social networking sites (e.g. Facebook) has inadvertently provided sexual predators with a ripe new hunting ground for young victims. As a result, entirely new divisions of law enforcement have emerged to focus specifically on sex crimes facilitated by the Internet. The Internet has also played a positive role in promoting healthy, safe, and diverse human sexuality and behaviour. For example, the Internet has become a source of accessible sex education, has contributed to the normalizing of sexuality and diverse sexual identities, and has provided a new means of meeting potential partners.

5. How has the advent of the Internet affected sexual behaviour and well-being?

Feedback: Although the advent of the Internet has provided access of explicit sexual material and vulnerability of young people whose parents do not employ parental controls, the general consensus is that the overall impact of the Internet on sexual health has been positive. The Internet has had a particularly positive impact on facilitating the development of relationships between people in marginalized sexual groups such as members of the LGBTQ+ community.
