When the verbal expression and behavioral expression dimensions of the values in the cartoon Masha and the Bear were compared, it was determined that they were presented to the audience as behavioral expression categories rather than verbal expression value categories. Of the total value expressions (n= 168), 112 were in the "behavioral expression dimension" and 56 in the "verbal expression dimension".
