Gender Display

Inclusion of sex-atypical voices in speech perception protocols can reveal variations in listener perception and is particularly applicable in developing guidelines for transgender speech treatment. Ninety-three listeners, divided into four groups based on sex and sexual orientation, provided auditory-perceptual measures of sex and gender display for 21 cisgender men, 21 cisgender women, and 22 transgender women. There was no significant evidence that those listener characteristics were influential, except transgender women were perceived as significantly more feminine by nonstraight compared with straight listeners.

ABSTRACTThis article analyzes the assibilation of /r/ among young people in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, in light of previous research on women's speech in language change. It is demonstrated that assibilation, an innovation known to have first appeared in the speech of women of the middle and upper social echelons, is closely associated with sex, sociocultural level, and attitude toward traditional male and female roles. These attitudes are suggested as a factor that plays an important role in the dynamics of the change, showing opposite effects among young men and women. That is, young men with traditional attitudes assibilate least, whereas young women with traditional attitudes assibilate most frequently. Parallels between this study and one of a similar innovation in Argentinian Spanish suggest a generalized pattern of change in which variables introduced by women of the middle and upper social echelons become markers of gender display in the lower classes, where they grow to be favored by women and avoided by men. The discovery of the role of attitude toward traditional sex roles in this pattern of change is unique to the present study.

Building long-term relationships with clients is extremely beneficial for organisations. This does not necessarily imply, however, that the clients themselves need or want a long-term relationship with an organisation. Relationship marketing could profitably be looked at from the client’s perspective, at the same time identifying those clients who have a strong relationship intention and would, in fact, like to engage in a long-term relationship with organisations.The objective of this research was to explore whether three aspects relating to clients, that is, the varying lengths of their relationship with organisations, their age and their gender display significantly different levels of relationship intention. Relationship intention is measured in terms of constructs like involvement, expectations, forgiveness, feedback and fear of relationship loss.Non-probability sampling was used in this study, and 114 respondents from the short-terminsurance industry completed self-administered questionnaires. Findings indicate that, for a group of high relationship-intention clients of a short-term insurance organisation, no practically significant discrimination exists on any of the relationship-intention constructs for clients’ length of relationship, gender or age.

A growing body of research suggests that young women tend to replicate normative feminine cues popularized through mass media in their selfies, or self-taken mobile phone photographs. Among these stereotypical cues are posing behaviors documented in Goffman’s gender display framework, which visualize a power imbalance between men and women. We completed a content analysis to investigate gender display in young women’s Instagram selfies alongside its relationship to feedback such as likes and comments. In this study, a novel scalar measure of gender display captures both the categorical manifestation and the exaggeration of gender stereotypical cues. We found that gender display is prevalent in women’s Instagram selfies but presented in subtle ways. In addition, women who incorporate and exaggerate gender displays in their selfies tend to receive more feedback. We suggest that gender stereotyping in Instagram selfies is related to reinforcing feedback and call for closer measurement and contextualization of gender performance in user-generated content.

The authors examine the advertisements for psychotropic drugs in the major medical journals of Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in 1975, 1985, and 1995, with the object of illuminating the gender construction of the portrayed user. Using both a longitudinal and a cross-sectional approach, the study looked for a common Nordic gender display and whether it varied over time. The Nordic journals clearly conveyed a message that psychotropics are a gendered product, but without any uniform pattern. In 1975, men dominated the gender portrayals in Finland and Denmark, and women in Norway and Sweden. In 1985, the pattern was reversed: women dominated in Finland and Denmark, and men in Sweden and Norway. By 1995, the advertisements were mainly for antidepressants, and women were portrayed as the predominant users in Denmark, Finland, and Norway; the Swedish journal displayed couples only. In advertisements with dual-gender positions, however, the focus was on the female; they showed that the drug would assist her in fulfilling the expected supportive female gender behavior.
