Abstract/Summary:
This study focuses on the effects of modern entertainment programs on the attitudes of Saudi Arabia’s college students. A total of 1,355 students from King AbdulAziz University in Saudi Arabia, between the ages of 18 and 24, responded to a survey aimed at identifying the rate of change in social attitudes. The results indicate significant change and Westernization in the categories of parental authority and behavior mode. However, in the category of attitudes toward women’s rights, no significant change in attitude was detected. Since this research study involved only a sample population from one university, a larger population would be necessary to add further results to this study.
