The mass media is powerful in influencing youth's choices on pop music (11%) and movies (12%).

  16. Contact with pornographic materials 75% of respondents said that they had not taken any initiative to view/read pornographic materials, but 23% of them had. Further analyses showed that the exposure of these respondents to pornographic materials was directly related to influences from their peers.
