媒体是青少年身份发展和社会身份满足的来源之一。尼尔森使用2014-2015年14-17岁青少年电视季的收视数据来研究青少年电视曝光的种族和性别多样性。与美国人口普查数据相比，主流节目对女性的代表性不足，但黑人角色的比例大致具有代表性。黑人青少年比非黑人青少年看更多的电视，考虑到这一点，受黑人青少年欢迎的节目比受非黑人青少年欢迎的节目更有可能表现出种族多样性。此外，受女性青少年欢迎的节目比受男性欢迎的节目更有可能表现出性别多样性。这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即青少年寻求媒体信息的字符是他们的身份群体的成员，可能是因为字符作为身份发展和社会身份满足的工具。
Media are one source for adolescent identity development and social identity gratifications. Nielsen viewing data across the 2014–2015 television season for adolescents ages 14–17 was used to examine racial and gender diversity in adolescent television exposure. Compared to U.S. Census data, mainstream shows underrepresent women, but the proportion of Black characters is roughly representative. Black adolescents watch more television than non-Black adolescents and, after taking this into account, shows popular with Black adolescents are more likely than shows popular with non-Black adolescents to exhibit racial diversity. In addition, shows popular with female adolescents are more likely than shows popular with males to exhibit gender diversity. These results support the idea that adolescents seek out media messages with characters that are members of their identity groups, possibly because the characters serve as tools for identity development and social identity gratifications.
