Children’S Responses Toward Gender Role Stereotyped Advertisement
EXTENDED ABSTRACT - There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding the use of sex role stereotypes in advertising directed to children. Critics claim that marketers encourage sex role stereotyping by creating gender specific products, such as Mattel’s Barbie and Hasbro’s G.I. Joe. Toy makers, on the other hand, claim that their products reflect rather than create existing societal conceptions of gender roles. Previous research has utilized content analysis to document the existence of gender stereotyping in advertising (Hoek and Sheppard 1990; Hoek and Laurence 1993), but has not directly examined the effectiveness of sex-role-specific advertising directed toward children.
