Race, class, and family environment have varying values when it comes to media influence on adolescents. “Adolescent and Parent Perseptions of Media Influence on Adolescent Sexuality” (2004) tells us how the media influences us through different research projects. A study of adolescent middle-school girls by Durham (1999) showed us that race and class play a part in the sexual socialization of young girls with the dominant culture more likely to pay attention to mass media. Not only do race and class have an effect; overall family satisfaction was found to be the most consistent moderator between media variables and sexual permissiveness in a study examining gender, race, and family environment.
