In this post I will be explaining the Sex Role Traits of Alice Cooper one of the Main Character in the teen Drama Riverdale using the Items of the Bem Sex Role Inventory.

 

Alice Cooper is one of the main character in the show Riverdale. Throughout her time on the 4 seasons we have seen her develop as the annoying investigative news reporter and former teenage Serpent to the undercover F.B.I. agent that is helping her long lost son bring down the farm ( a cult like group who is harvesting peoples organs)  For all she has been put through with her husband the serial killer the Black Hood and the tragedies that strike Riverdale she has some very strong traits that I’m excited to uncover.

 

 

Feminine 

Cheerful-Alice is one of the most cheerful people in the whole show. Most of it is an act and she is acting that her life is all happy and rainbows and she is very good at that.

 

Sensitive to others’ needs- She is always trying to help her kids and the mistakes they make. When her fake son Chick brought a stranger that threatened him she killed him with a lamp and was sensitive that Betty would be involved.

 

Feminine- She is always dressed to the standard or a reporter always in a blazer and always hair and makeup done. She is also someone who when questioned about her past made an amazing entrance to an event in a serpent dress that was both sexy, feminine and boss.

 

 

Masculine 

Assertive- When Alice means business she means business. She knows what she wants and knows that she is gonna get her way because she is assertive. It is part of her personality and we see this in her daughter Betty as well.

 

Willing to take a stand- In the beginning of the series she is someone who is very actively involved in the removal of the high school South Side High and the Serpents in general. She is someone who is expressive in her opinion and not afraid to share what she thinks.

 

Self-sufficient- Alice is someone we see go through some very hard times on the show and she continues to provide for her family and be successful in her career without her husband.

 

 

In Conclusion 

Alice Cooper is more on the Feminine aspect of the Bem Sex Role Inventory list. She is someone who is Feminine and embodies what is is to be feminine, she is always dressed in the best, has a smile on her face and is always sensitive to what others need.
