Signorielli, Nancy
Youth and Society, v24 n3 p314-41 Mar 1993
Updates knowledge about the representation of occupations on prime-time network dramatic television using data on 14,902 television characters, and explores how these representations may be related to perceptions of over 3,000 high school students about their future work.
