R<em>esearch</em> has been necessitated by the current situation in our society where the victim behavior is forming among children and adolescents and their gender roles are changing. To identify the causes of formation of victim behavior based on the analysis of gender characteristics of adolescents. The main research methods are the Bass-Darky questionnaire, the modified Freiburg Personality Inventory/Form B (FPI-B), a technique of study personal orientation that allow to identify the typical forms of respondents’aggressive behavior, some personality traits; to allocate four major types of personal orientation (humanistic, egocentric, sociocentric, negativistic). Deformation of gender stereotypes in modern society is reflected in the manifestation of victim behavior. Level of aggression, as one of the signs of victimization, is quite high both among boys and girls. Also among this category, adolescents with negativist personality orientation, in which a teenager does not accept himself or others, prevail. The research has resulted in some victim behavior features among adolescents. No clear gendered features have been identified that can be explained as the result of changing gender roles in contemporary society. The study has been identified some traits of victim behavior among adolescents, but no clear gendered features have been identified, it can be explained as the result of social changing gender in contemporary society, the masculinization phenomenon among the female population in particular.

SynopsisThis paper reviews the evidence for changing patterns of mental health over time in childhood and youth in Western societies. The evidence suggests that the prevalence of major depression, substance abuse and offending behaviour, as well as the incidence of suicide, is increasing in adolescent populations, particularly among males. There are also indications that problem behaviours among younger children are becoming more common. There is no evidence of a deterioration in the adjustment of the pre-school population.

This chapter starts from the observation that, to address the destitution of any community successfully, the sociopolitical interactions that exist around that community need to be addressed as well. It offers three reasons why youth development policies for young Roma who live in poverty may have an impact on these interactions by changing patterns of social mobility among children and adolescents to facilitate greater, large-scale change. These policies may be pivotal in bringing about new experiences and perceptions of Roma identity. And finally, they may inform and help expand international actions on Roma. By studying the opportunities inherent in youth development initiatives, researchers may gain a deeper understanding not only of the dynamics of exclusion and marginalization facing many Roma but also of the potential positive change within and around their communities.

The Impact

Widespread use of television has brought with it the examination of the effect of exposure to TV content on its viewers. One of the most remarkable approaches put forward in this context is the Cultivation Theory developed by Gerbner (1969). The theory, which focuses on the impact of TV viewing on individuals perceptions of reality, assumes that as the frequency of exposure to messages presented in TV increases, individuals’ perceptions of the real world are shaped according to these messages. The development of gender stereotypes and beliefs in gender equality in children and adolescents may also be fed by the “cultivation” function of TV, which is widely used by them also. The aim of this study is to systematically review the studies focuses on the relationship between frequency of watching TV and children’s or adolescents’ gender-based stereotypes in the context of Cultivation Theory. A total of 23 studies conducted between 1960 and 2020 were reviewed in this context and it was determined that both children and adolescents had more traditional beliefs and attitudes about gender roles with the increase in the frequency of watching TV. Findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Keywords Cultivation Theory, gender roles, watching tv, children, adolescents
