Existing studies of the sexual content of television programming and advertising and the effects of this content on adolescent viewers are reviewed. Content studies show that the frequency of sexual references have increased in the past decade and are increasingly explicit. Studies of the effects of this content, while scarce, suggest that adolescents who rely heavily on television for information about sexuality will have high standards of female beauty and will believe that premarital and extramarital intercourse with multiple partners is acceptable. They are unlikely to learn about the need for contraceptives as a form of protection against pregnancy or disease. Suggestions for future research and trends in television programming policies are explored.
本文回顾了关于电视节目和广告中的性内容及其对青少年观众影响的现有研究。内容研究表明，在过去十年中，性相关内容的出现频率有所增加，且越来越露骨。关于此类内容影响的研究虽然稀少，但表明严重依赖电视获取性信息的青少年会对女性美有高标准要求，并会认为与多个伴侣进行婚前和婚外性行为是可以接受的。他们不太可能了解到使用避孕措施作为预防怀孕或疾病的一种方式的必要性。文中还探讨了未来研究的建议以及电视节目政策的趋势。
