"The Mosque and the Satellite": Media and Adolescence in a Moroccan Town.

Davis, Susan S.; Davis, Douglas A.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v24 n5 p577-93 Oct 1995

Data were collected on the media exposure of between 64 and 101 Moroccan adolescents and their use of media images in social behavior, choice of mate, and career aspirations. Although males had more exposure to Western media, both sexes were eager to reconcile traditional Islamic and contemporary media-relayed values. (SLD)
