This article describes the Children's Music Quotient (CMQ), a method of content analysis that aims to quantify the concept of childness developed by Peter Hollindale in Signs of Childness in Children's Literature and apply it to the study of recordings of music made for children. It outlines the development of the CMQ and demonstrates the kinds of findings it can generate through case studies based on a broad range of children's music recordings. The analysis of attributes within three categories of the recordings (music, lyrics and sonics) is used to support wider arguments about discourses of childhood in specific socio-historical examples. An evaluation of the method highlights its adaptability for the quantitative analysis of other children's media, such as books, films, television shows and computer games

Descriptive Approach

This research focuses on the gimmick in reality television shows, namely the Rumah Uya program which is broadcasted by ANTV station. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, data collection uses purposive sampling techniques, and data analysis uses content analysis. The results showed that the gimmick added to this event was not only a sound effect, but also create the acting of talents with dialogues that tended to be vulgar and showed impolite behavior. This contradicts with the applicable broadcasting regulations, namely the policies set out in the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia) regulation. Adding gimmicks to the reality show program can be done as long as it does not conflict with decency, law, and applicable regulations.

The gender gap in education has been widening over the years as girls push ahead, and boys lag behind. Various factors are considered when attempting to explain this trend as well as how it can be addressed. This study focuses on the role of media, specifically children’s TV shows, how they portray masculinity and how those portrayals may shape boys’ identities and behaviour in school. A content analysis of six boys’ television shows has been conducted to document some of these messages. With the exception of one show, overall findings illustrate that the television shows included in this study do not represent a range of masculinities, providing limited messages to young viewers. This study does not assess the direct relationship between these messages and behaviour in the classroom but considers one possible explanation for the gender gap, and makes suggestions aimed at transforming practices in the classroom. Even with research suggesting the need for exposure to different types of masculinities, such issues cannot be addressed until society believes that young boys need encouragement and support in forming their own individual gender identities. Keywords: boys; education; gender; gender gap; masculinity; television.

Popular Subject

Mormon polygamy has become a popular subject for contemporary reality television shows. TLC’s polygamy reality shows center around Mormon polygamist families from the families’ points of view. In contrast from these, Lifetime/A&E Networks’ Escaping Polygamy (2014–) centers around three twenty-something ex-members of a Mormon fundamentalist sect known as the Kingston group. The show depicts the ex-members as heroines who rescue other young adults as they are leaving Mormon polygamist sects. In this article, Escaping Polygamy is interpreted as an “atrocity tale” that relies on a history of moral panic around Mormon polygamy and perpetuates reductive stereotypes about Mormon fundamentalist groups. After an evaluation depending on content analysis of the series and informal interviews with key individuals represented on the series, this article explores the possible damage Escaping Polygamy causes for Mormon polygamist sects and even the young adults shown leaving the groups.

This study updates information on the representation, roles, and occupational portrayal of African-Americans in television advertisements. A content analysis often prime time television shows revealed that black representation in television ads exceeded the percentage distribution of blacks in the population in 1991. The percentage of ads showing blacks in major roles has remained relatively stable over time. However, a black model's level of product interaction was found to be a function of the value of the product, with lower valued products having higher black model-product interaction than higher valued products. This study also compared black portrayal and representation on “typical” versus “black-oriented” television shows. The results indicate that “black-oriented” shows had a greater percentage of all black ads, ads with blacks in major roles, and ads depicting blacks in skilled occupational categories compared to “typical” shows.

Abstract. TV news are essentially cultural phenomena. Previous research suggests that the often-overlooked formal and implicit characteristics of newscasts may be systematically related to culture-specific characteristics. Investigating these characteristics by means of a frame-by-frame content analysis is identified as a particularly promising methodological approach. To examine the relationship between culture and selected formal characteristics of newscasts, we present an explorative study that compares material from the USA, the Arab world, and Germany. Results indicate that there are many significant differences, some of which are in line with expectations derived from cultural specifics. Specifically, we argue that the number of persons presented as well as the context in which they are presented can be interpreted as indicators of Individualism/Collectivism. The conclusions underline the validity of the chosen methodological approach, but also demonstrate the need for more comprehensive and theory-driven category schemes.
