Sexismo simbólico y estereotipos de género en el reality show Las Kardashian

Els reality shows són programes de gran audiència a la nostra societat. Degut a la proliferació de les noves cadenes de televisió, aquests programes s'emeten en qualsevol franja horària, fet que encara els hi dona major visibilitat. Un exemple és el reality show "Las Kardashian". El present treball aborda aquest programa en qüestió des d'una perspectiva sociològica de gènere. Per tal de detectar qualsevol element de caràcter sexista i masclista que ajudi a perpetuar els estereotips i els rols de gènere, s'analitza el llenguatge emprat pels participants del reality, les seves actituds segons el context i el tractament de la narrativa audiovisual.Los reality shows son programas de gran audiencia en nuestra sociedad.

Con tal de detectar cualquier elemento sexista que pueda perpetuar los estereotipos y los roles de genero, se analiza el lenguaje utilizado por los participantes del reality, sus actitudes y el trato de la narrativa audiovisual.Reality shows are television programs with large audiences in our society. Due to the proliferation of new television channels, these programs are broadcasted at any time. Reason why they have gained a greater visibility. A good example is "Las Kardashian" reality show. This research is approached through a sociological perspective of gender. In order to detect any sexism that could perpetuate stereotypes and roles of gender it is analyzed the language used by the main characters, their attitudes and how is the audiovisual narrative treatment

Sex-specific frontal-striatal connectivity differences among adolescents with externalizing disorders

Background: Sex-specific neurobiological underpinnings of impulsivity in youth with externalizing disorders have not been well studied. The only report of functional connectivity (FC) findings in this area demonstrated sex differences in fronto-subcortical connectivity in youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: The current study used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to examine sex differences in resting-state seed-based FC, self-rated impulsivity, and their interactions in 11-12-year-old boys (n = 43) and girls (n = 43) with externalizing disorders. Generalized linear models controlling for pubertal development were used. Seeds were chosen in the ventral striatum, medial prefrontal cortex, middle frontal gyrus and amygdala. Results: Impulsivity scores were greater in boys than girls (p < 0.05). Boys showed greater positive connectivity within a ventromedial prefrontal-ventral striatal network. In addition, boys demonstrated weaker connectivity than girls within two medial-lateral prefrontal cortical networks. However, only boys showed greater medial-lateral prefrontal connectivity correlated with greater impulsivity. Conclusions: The findings provide evidence supporting sex differences in both ventral striatal-ventromedial prefrontal and medial-lateral prefrontal functional networks in youth with externalizing disorders. These important networks are thought to be implicated in impulse control. Medial-lateral prefrontal connectivity may represent a male-specific biomarker of impulsivity
