Question 3


Research by George Gerbner and his associates has revealed a number of patterns in the content of American television drama. Which answer from the answer menu is not one of those patterns?

Reference: Wright, C. (1986). Mass communication: A sociological perspective (3rd ed). NY: Random House.

Select an answer:


Men out number women by about 3 to 1.
Relatively young persons (under 16) and older persons (over 65) appear more frequently than they do in real life.
There are more professionals than might be expected and far fewer blue collar and service workers.
None of the above (i.e., all these patterns are found).
