Abstract

The study sought to answer the following question: What are the new behavioral patterns that Egyptian drama reflects and its relationship to the adoption of it by young people? The sample of the study was represented in the 67 episodes of Sabea’ Gar series; the researcher chose the series because it sparked controversy among young people. The sample of the field study was a random sample of young people from the age of (18 to 35), consisting of (400) people, with a rate of (182) males, and (218) females, where the researcher divided the youth stage into three age periods, the first period from (18 to 22 years), which represents the university stage, the second period from (23 to 28 years), and the third period, which represents the approaching end of the youth stage from (29 to 35years), and the study reached several results, the most important of which are:
- The series dealt with many different characters in their ages and educational levels, although most of them belong to the middle class.
- The characters (ages 26 to 35) were the most likely to adopt the behavioral patterns introduced in the series, with a percentage of (72.7%).
- The behavioral patterns created Sabea’Gar series were performed by males and females with a slight difference, and this may be due to the fact that most of the new behaviors analyzed in the series are the result of reactions and interactions of male characters with female characters.
- Most of the characters do the behavior introduced in the series, the characters of the average economic level, with a very large difference from the characters of high level.
