Jennifer Stevens Aubrey, Professor of Communication at the U of Arizona, has over the past 20 years established a reputation as an expert on the role of the media in sexual socialization and development of body image, particularly as it pertains to adolescents and young adults. Throughout her illustrious career Professor Aubrey has published 60 refereed journal articles, 12 book chapters, and co-edited the book, Bitten by Twilight: Youth Culture, Media, and the Vampire Franchise. Her research has been supported by 14 grants. Her research has shown for example that female characters are punished for their sexuality more than male characters and that there is a predominant heterosexual script in media portrayals that equates masculinity with sexuality. This research has yielded key insights into the mechanisms by which television and films demonstrate to viewers the procedural elements of sex in the form of sexual scripts. Professor Aubrey also conducts  innovative experimental work on mass media effects, showing for example that depictions of verbal sexual consent from likable characters have a positive influence on attitudes toward seeking sexual consent. This experimental research has also increased our understanding of how media portrayals fuel self-objectification that is associated with negative body image among other negative psychosocial outcomes.
