Abstract

Los efectos y el impacto que generan las reacciones emocionales y conductuales en las series de ficción rara vez son tomados en cuenta dentro de las revisiones sistemáticas. La presente revisión sistemática considera estudios de investigación publicados en los últimos diez años relacionados con la representación juvenil en series de ficción. Incluye 18 estudios de investigación publicados en la última década en 4 bases de datos seleccionadas: EBSCOhost, PubMed, Dialnet y Google Académico. Los resultados del estudio señalan una mayor visualización de géneros e identidades sexuales marginadas, así como diversas prácticas de prevención y exposición del suicidio y la violencia.
