The author created a small survey, which illustrates how people are influenced by the presentation of romance relationship by the media. The author claims that “I will use the word ‘romance’ in this report not so much to connote the images of candlelit dinners and flowers (though they form a part of this definition), but the general phenomena of exclusive two partner relationships.” (Mass media influences)
In the survey conducted by the author, about 60% of interviewed college students feel that the media do not accurately present romantic relationships. On the contrary, and surprisingly, about 90% of the students admitted, that media do influence their perception of romance itself.
Another interesting research, which was done by the author, is an analysis of magazines’ front covers. Even though only 13 magazines were used, we can get a general idea. According to this research, the readers are most interested in sexuality (including skills and issues), but the least attention is paid to supporting the partner.

(I would like to attribute the author, but unfortunately he or she isn’t mentioned anywhere.)
