Gender and racial stereotypes in popular video games. - 42 p.

Adviser: Ron Tamborini.

Thesis (M.A.)--Michigan State University, 2007.

This study examined the gender and racial stereotypes in video games. Top 10 games from each of the three most popular consoles (PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Gamecube) were content analyzed. Totally 201 stereotypical behaviors were identified. Female characters (n = 40) were under-represented in comparison to male characters (n = 281). No evidence in the study shows that females are stereotypically portrayed as victims, or that males are stereotypically portrayed as heroes or helpers. Similarly, there is no evidence showing that minority groups are stereotypically portrayed as villains. However, females are stereotypically portrayed with sexually revealing appearance. And except for Asian characters, minority groups are underrepresented in video games. Implication for these finding are discussed.
