La criminalidad femenina en las series televisivas: una perspectiva psicosocial.

Abstract

La televisión es un poderoso agente de socialización y puede contribuir a la generación, mantenimiento o ruptura de estereotipos de género. En concreto, en este estudio se exploró la imagen que las series de televisión ofrecen de la criminalidad femenina, dado que esta ha sido prácticamente invisible, asociando tradicionalmente la violencia al género masculino. Para ello, se empleó un enfoque psicosocial basado en las teorías audiovisuales, la Psicología Social, la Psicología de los Medios, la Teoría Fílmica Feminista y teorías sobre la criminalidad femenina y la psicopatología asociada. Se analizaron 251 casos de mujeres asesinas en 44 series televisivas estadounidenses y británicas emitidas en España durante los años 2000-2015. La recogida de datos se llevó a cabo mediante una ficha de análisis de contenido cuantitativo ad hoc para categorizar los perfiles de las mujeres y descubrir las características básicas de su modus operandi. Se revelaron personajes femeninos precisos, meticulosos y capaces a cometer asesinatos atroces a sangre fría por su propia voluntad, tanto a sus familiares como a personas desconocidas, en el sentido contrario a la figura emocional que los medios han representado a las mujeres tradicionalmente. No obstante, siguen manteniendo algunos estereotipos relacionados con su imagen y situación socio-demográfica, así como su perfil psicológico. Concretamente, sobresalen mujeres que padecen trastornos de la personalidad. Igualmente, en esta investigación se han encontrado un nuevo perfil de asesinas en serie como son las asesinas relámpago, así como un perfil poco asociado a las mujeres, como las criminales profesionales. Tras la revisión de los resultados, se propone un decálogo de buenas prácticas para construir perfiles de la criminalidad femenina que fomenten un enfoque socialmente responsable en contenidos mediáticos, libres de estereotipos y enfocados a la igualdad.

Television is a powerful socialization agent that can contribute to generate, maintain or break gender stereotypes. In particular, in this study the image that TV series offer upon female criminality is explored, since this matter has been practically invisible, traditionally associating violence with male gender. To do so, a psychosocial focus based on audiovisual theories, Social Psychology, Media Psychology and Feminist Film theories and theories about female criminality and affiliated psychopathy, was applied. The sample consisted of 251 of female killers on 44 American and British TV series, broadcasted in Spain, from 2000 to 2015. The data collection was conducted by a quantitative content analysis coding frame ad hoc in order to categorize female profile killers and describe their modus operandi. Female killers were revealed to be precise, meticulous and able to commit atrocious murders in cold blood by their own free will, equally killing family members or unknown individuals, in the opposite direction of their emotional figure depicted traditionally by media. Notwithstanding, certain stereotypes related to their image and socio-demographic situation, are still maintained. Precisely, women, who experience personality disorders, are standing out. Similarly, in this investigation, a new profile of women serial killers, spree killers, and another one scarcely related to female characters, professional criminals, were found. Following the review of the results, a good practices decalogue is proposed for the purpose of creating female criminality profiles that promote a socially responsible approach on media contents, freed from stereotypes and aimed at equality.
