Abstract: | Following a consolidated research line on the effects of TV on academic choicesand aspirations, we study the case of Merlí TV series and its possible impact onthe adolescents’ preferences for philosophy degrees in Catalonia. Official statisticsseem to confirm the increasing number of enrolments and applications in philo-sophy degrees between 2015 and 2016, although our exploratory analyses(study1)find it difficult to unequivocally attribute this change to the series. Waiting formore robust quantitative analyses on this issue, we provide a complementaryqualitative approach (study 2), through online questionnaires with open ques-tions, to know the perception that the newly admitted students in philosophy de-grees in Catalan universities have about this issue. These students consider thatMerlí did not influenced their personal decision, but that it has improved the so-cial value of philosophy. We discuss future lines of research on the indirect effectsof this more positive environment. |
