Exploring the prevalence of success stories in popular work-related television series: A content analysis
This content analytical study (N = four series, 59 characters, and 2411 scenes) investigates how success stories are portrayed in work-related television series (i.e., television series centered on the working environment) that are available in several countries, namely Suits, Grey's Anatomy, The Bold Type, and The Good Doctor. Based on the ideas of cultivation theory, this study explores how such television series define (professional) success and whether the accomplishments portrayed in them adhere to the malleability narrative (i.e., a narrative in which success is portrayed as achievable by everyone provided they work hard for it). By analyzing the main and secondary characters, this study explores which character traits are associated with (professional) success and examines the presence of references to personal accountability and perseverance.
