The study aimed to explore the new generation of men's lifestyle magazines, which emerged since the mid-1980s (including titles such as Loaded, FHM, GQ, Arena). The researchers sought to examine specific forms of masculinity as they varied by place, class, ethnicity and generation, and also to assess the extent to which variations in the magazines' content and the way they are read by different groups of men can be explained according to competing sociological theories of masculinity and the media. In addition to 20 focus group interviews with various groups of men and some women, five individual interviews with editors of representative magazines were also conducted.<br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5> Topics covered include: readership of men's lifestyle magazines, gender, generations, age, identity, lifestyles, mass media, men, social class, consumption and identity within the focus group interviews, and career development and editorial policy in the editor interviews.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1985-1997 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 1997 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No spatial unit <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals; Focus groups and individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Individual (micro) level; 24 semi-structured interviews </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Readers and editors of the new men's magazines </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> Purposive selection/case studies <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> (A) 25 (obtained) Interviews (20 focus group, 5 individual) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Face-to-face interview; focus group and individual interviews </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
