Game of Choice, Not Chance | TEGA Discovery Research Phase | page 4 Executive Summary In response to the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Approaches to Fertility Awareness and Adolescent Reproductive Health Addendum to the USAID Development Innovation Accelerator Board Agency Announcement (bAA), USAID has funded Girl Effect as part of a consortium with Howard Delafield International LLP (HDI), the Virginia Serious Games Institute, and Cycle Technologies1 to pilot a program in India entitled A Game of Choice, Not Chance™ (GOC). The game combines: 1) an interactive story-based video game; 2) a reproductive health education e-learning tool; 3) a data analytics tool; and 4) a web portal that links to family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) products and care. The GOC game will challenge players to make realistic FP/RH decisions and choices within a safe and private virtual space, enabling them to experience the simulated outcomes of their choices. The research is designed to provide the foundation for the creative inputs for the development of the game as mentioned in the Sub IR 1 of the Game of Choice, Not Chance Results Framework: ‘Design, Development and Testing of FP/RH Adolescent Game.’ The research is aimed to ‘mine’ insights from the audience to help in the creative development of realistic, believable, and relatable elements for the game. The research will be used as a foundation for understanding the life choices of the adolescent girls, their decision points, and the hurdles and motivators for making the healthy choices. Objectives The overall aims of the exploratory phase of the study were: ● Evoke insights on the life and lifestyles of adolescent girls ages 15 to 19, including unmarried and married girls. Develop a holistic understanding of their lives and interactions with peers, gatekeepers, and the media. ● Use interview data to develop psychographic profiles based on the data collected and the girls accounts of their lived experiences, including their aspirations, attitudes, dreams, motivations and influences, and also their fears, anxieties, and insecurities. ● Analyze the developed psychographic concepts (personas) to understand perceptions of the various ‘labels’ that are used to describe profiles. For example: What does ‘conservative’ or ‘ambitious’ mean to the target audience? The psychographic profiles/personas will be developed 1 The work featured in this report was completed and reported in 2019 prior to the GOC Project’s expansion on partnerships. Since October, 2019, two additional partners were incorporated, Indusgeeks and Vihara Innovation Network. Game of Choice, Not Chance | TEGA Discovery Research Phase | page 5 by NAM ER@VSGI in the form of two-dimensional animated sketches, or stimuli, and will be shared with Girl Effect before the fieldwork is conducted. ● Determine the level of their reproductive health and family planning knowledge, their attitude, behaviors, and self-efficacy, with a particular focus on their understanding of the benefits of delaying sex, and an exploration of what options are aspirational if they were to refuse or negotiate relationships, marriage, and childbirth. Explore and understand anxieties and insecurities, especially while navigating relationships. ● Understand girls’ technological awareness and their mobile use, including phone preferences and usage, social media engagement, screen time, and internet use. ● Determine target audience engagement with mobile games, including but not limited to the name and type of games, collaboration/competition during games, and reasons for playing/deleting the games. ● Develop a data set on girls’ preferences when it comes to game characters/avatars, including character types, personalities, personas and appearance. Methods This piece of research used Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors (TEGAs), a girl-led, peer to peer, qualitative interviewing methodology, powered by Girl Effect, to administer research to help inform the design of the game. TEGAs are trained female researchers ages 18-21, who use a customized app to interview respondents in a peer-orientated, youth focused way. TEGAs confidentially conduct interviews with girls of their own age which then reveals candid information that assists in understanding audiences and beneficiaries, and the themes and issues needed to inform program and product design. TEGAs are girls from targeted communities who undergo a rigorous training process to become qualified digital researchers. The curriculum is devised in partnership with the Market Research Society (MRS). Through a specially developed app, the girl researchers conduct the research themselves and data is then transferred, organized and made visible on the TEGA data hub within minutes. TEGAs are trained to be non-judgmental, practice active listening to allow the respondents to open up freely, and to ask open-ended questions. TEGAs are able to discuss sensitive topics like adolescent reproductive health, mobile phone use, and relationships. TEGA interviews produce data that is subjective, and the TEGAs also provide feedback on questions and the content of interviews, making the process participatory for respondents and the TEGAs themselves. Game of Choice, Not Chance | TEGA Discovery Research Phase | page 6 TEGA is a research methodology that adheres to LEAN research principles2. LEAN research is developed along the lines of human-centered approaches to design research projects for development or humanitarian settings. TEGA has been developed with the guidance of researchers at MIT’s D-Lab and Tufts University. The principles guiding the TEGA approach focus on research that is rigorous, relevant, respectful, and right-sized. The application of these principles has implications on design and execution of the TEGA interviews. 1. TEGA’s smaller samples of respondents guarantee quality engagement without risking research fatigue in communities and saturation in findings. 2. TEGAs themselves feed into research design and analysis. 3. TEGA respondents are never interviewed

The purpose of television is to inform, are, however, designed eventually to end, and it is the educate and entertain its viewers.

    Visualising Gender UNIT 2 GENDER ON TELEVISION Vinaya Nayak Structure 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Objectives 2.3 Definition 2.4 Indian Television and Gender 2.5 Historical Perspective 2.6 Newsreaders in Indian Television 2.7 Cable Television and Gender: Soap Operas 2.8 Let Us Sum Up 2.9 Unit End Questions 2.10 Glossary 2.11 References 2.12 Suggested Readings 2.1 INTRODUCTION Television is often referred to as a ‘woman’s’ medium. This feminisation of the media arises from the programmes aired on television and the manner in which television programmes are consumed. The fact that television, unlike cinema or theatre is watched inside one’s home, allows for an assumption that the principle audience are women; therefore the content or programs such as soap operas and serials are generally made with a female spectatorship in mind. Another important aspect that leads to the female centric nature of television is advertising. Today, upper class women have been considered decision makers and therefore targets of the advertising message, it only follows that the content of the programme must find favour with female viewers. Of course, we have to examine this connection more vigorously and it is important to understand that the notion that television is a woman’s media is at best an assumption, as belonging to all genders obviously television programs are watched by members of households, belonging to all genders. However, this perception of television perhaps also enables a closer scrutiny of how women are portrayed on television. The representation of women in the mass media has been closely scrutinised by media commentators, critics, academics, researchers and within the women’s movement.

  • Gender Issues in Hindi Language Family Based Teleserials
    International Journal of Applied Home Science RESEARCH PAPER Volume 5 (3), March (2018) : 669-682 ISSN : 2394-1413 Received : 22.01.2018; Revised : 07.02.2018; Accepted : 27.02.2018 Gender issues in hindi language family based teleserials SUDHA SACHDEVA Ph.D. Scholar Department of Development Communication and Extension, Lady Irwin College, University of Delhi, New Delhi (India) ABSTRACT Teleserials in India constitute major share of the time devoted to entertainment programmes on the Hindi language channels of Indian television. In India, teleserials rose to popularity after Humlog, the first TV serial that became a major success on Doordarshan. Liberalization and globalization led to the private channels started telecasting mega serials about big business families. The year 2008 led to the birth of Colors TV as a new channel, and Balika Vadhu, as a women centric thematic soap. A new shift in the emphasis in the content of family based teleserials was observed. UN and CEDAW guidelines as well as Beijing 20 laid emphasis on portrayal on women in media and its linkages with gender empowerment. Content of teleserials became a question of primary concern. As a part of the doctoral study on ‘Gender issues in the Hindi language family based teleserials’, an analysis of the primary themes of the content of 182 teleserials on Youtube over the time frame 2008-2016 was conducted across four popular Hindi channels i.e. Starplus, Zee TV, Sony and Colors within the context of gender. A total of 182 family based teleserials were telecasted across the four identified channels between 2008-2016. Of them, 87 teleserials (47.80%) revolved around women and gender.
