“…Esto supone una similitud con el estudio llevado por Gómez Pérez (2016), quien distingue en los personajes características similares a las expuestas en este artículo. En ese mismo orden al realizar un análisis retrospectivo a las investigaciones desarrolladas por varios autores (Banet-Weiser, 2004;Northup & Liebler, 2010;Hunting et al, 2018), se logró apreciar una semejanza con relación al uso del humor absurdo presentado. De manera reiterada, en dos recuadros (minuto 8:03 y 9:26), esta herramienta fue empleada como estrategia para alivianar el suspenso y la carga emocional presente en los personajes.…”

“…(1996) y Bob Esponja (1999); el éxito de estas animaciones permitió la creación de Nickelodeon Studios, lugar donde la pequeña filial de ViacomCBS logró la creación de productos animados con su propio sello, convirtiéndose así en uno de los canales con mayor éxito televisivo durante la primera década del siglo XXI (Pecora, 2004). Un detalle no menor asociado a las animaciones producidas por esta franquicia es la presencia en el guion de contenido no lineal cargado de manera paralela con humor absurdo y mensajes educativos de valencia positiva (Banet-Weiser, 2004;Northup & Liebler, 2010;Hunting et al, 2018).…”

Se presenta en el siguiente artículo de carácter científico la revisión del argumento, aspectos físicos y diálogo de los diversos personajes asociados al cortometraje titulado “El Matón”, un capítulo de la serie animada estadounidense de Nickelodeon “Bob Esponja”; producto televisivo creado por Stephen Hillenburg, emitido desde 1999 en EE. UU. y posteriormente serializado en diferentes países durante las décadas siguientes. La serie está protagonizada por diversas figuras marinas que imitan comportamientos racionales y sufren sucesos que comprometen sus vidas, presentándose estos bajo el disfraz del humor negro. El análisis de contenido realizado a “El Matón” confirma que esta animación en cuestión transmitió a la audiencia infantil un mensaje contundente focalizado en la identificación de los patrones comportamentales que configuran la identidad de un abusador, estando presente en la longevidad del episodio una carga emocional representada por el estado anímico del protagonista y la supresión real de las consecuencias de los actos, aspectos que imposibilitaron a la teleaudiencia la comprensión total del argumento del capítulo.

“…A few studies examined gender portrayals in specific preschool television series, such as Sesame Street (Kirkorian, Wartella, & Anderson, 2008), Dora the Explorer (Keys, 2016;Ryan, 2010) and Doc McStuffins (Keys, 2016). Otherwise, earlier content A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t analyses looked at shows aimed toward children in middle childhood (e.g., Hunting, Grumbein, & Cahill, 2018;Leaper, Breed, Hoffman, & Perlman, 2002;Martin, 2017;Thompson & Zerbinos, 1995), early adolescence (Gerding & Signorielli, 2013;Kirsch & Murnen, 2015), or a broad range of ages (e.g., Götz et al, 2008). Our focus on programs targeted to audiences in early childhood is timely given the expansion of preschool television in recent years.…”

Prior content analyses have revealed the pervasiveness of gender-stereotyped portrayals and the underrepresentation of female characters in television programming. The present study if the first to examine gender representations in television shows specifically targeted at preschool-age children, which is a period when children are developing their understandings about gender. The sampled programs included three episodes each from 34 current shows. We compared female and male characters for number of total characters and lead characters (either mostly male, mostly female, or mixed). In addition, we analyzed the relative rates that female or male characters were depicted in the following: talking, speech (suggestions or support), aggression, gender-typed activities, and gender-typed appearance. Overall, the findings indicate preschool television perpetuates many gender stereotypes. However, some trends were less likely in programs with mostly female characters. Also, gender-stereotypical representations may be less pervasive in preschool-age programs than those previously indicated in content analyses of shows aimed at older children.

“…However, other researchers claimed that boys display more prosocial behavior than girls (Carlo et al, 2003). In particular, boys show higher accessibility of prosocial thoughts than girls after being exposed to prosocial songs and superhero content (Böhm, Ruth, & Schramm, 2016; Cingel, Sumter, & Jansen, 2020; Hunting et al, 2018). As such, it is of value to test gender effects for explanatory purposes.…”

In this study, we examined the prosocial video game (PVG) versus neutral video game (NVG) effects on children’s prosocial behaviors. The first objective is to rate and choose the PVG and NVG by 67 experts. The second objective is to test whether playing a PVG can increase prosocial thoughts and behaviors. The third objective is to test the gender effects on prosocial thoughts and behaviors. The final objective is to assess the mediation effect of prosocial thoughts on prosocial behaviors. One hundred and 76 children (50% girls; Mage = 4.89, SD = 0.79) recruited from a Chinese kindergarten participated in the 2 (Game) x 2 (Gender) factorial experiment. Half of them were randomly assigned to play a PVG or an NVG for 20 minutes. Prosocial thoughts were measured by reaction time (RT) to prosocial pictures in the Picture Decision Task (PDT), while prosocial behaviors were measured by difficulty of jigsaw chosen for the “virtual components” in the Tangram Jigsaw Task (TJT). Results were that brief exposure of children to a PVG increased their prosocial thoughts and prosocial behaviors. More precisely, boys reported higher accessibility of prosocial thoughts and more prosocial behaviors than girls. The PVG effect on prosocial behaviors was mediated by prosocial thoughts. These findings suggest that increasing PVG exposure and training prosocial thoughts were effective ways to promote the positive development of prosocial behavior during early childhood.
