Biography

Rocio Rivadeneyra received a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Her research interests include the effects of the media on adolescents, attitudes and expectations, and the social factors that lead to success and failure in the academic environment of Latino youth. She is also interested in how the media portrays different groups, in particular, Latinos and Latinas, and how these images affect youth in terms of identity, self-esteem, academic achievement, gender role attitudes, and sexuality. Finally, she is the coauthor with L.M. Ward of "From Ally McBeal to Sábado Gigante: Contributions of Television Viewing to the Gender Role Attitudes of Latino Adolescents" (2004), Journal of Adolescent Research.
