Gender Interactions

Traditional media has portrayed both genders in a biased manner, displaying differences in roles and personalities; this biased portrayal has a variety of impacts on people’s lives and careers. The aim of this paper is to analyze interactions between each gender on the show Cutthroat Kitchen through a content analysis to discover whether or not gender impacts interaction types and frequencies. Ultimately, this paper has concluded that gender does affect interactions on the show due to the differing frequencies for various types of interactions such as insults and threats. Furthermore, the frequency of each gender initiating interactions differs along with the connotation of said interactions. These findings of this study have implications on the field of social psychology and the casting of reality T.V. shows, especially food-based ones.

Athletic Competence

Unlike traditional media, which frames female athletes in sexualized manners and in socially accepted roles such as mothers and girlfriends, user-controlled social-media Web sites allow female athletes to control the image and brand they wish to portray to the public. Using Goffman’s theory of self-presentation, the current study aimed to investigate how female athletes were portraying themselves via their Twitter avatar pictures. A total of 207 verified Twitter avatars of female athletes from 6 sports were examined through a content analysis. The avatars from each player were coded using the following themes: athlete as social being, athlete as promotional figure, “selfie,” athletic competence, ambivalence, “girl next door,” and “sexy babe.” The results revealed that athletic competence was the most common theme, followed by selfie and athlete as social being. Thus, when women have the opportunity to control their image through social media they choose to focus on their athletic identities.

German Bundestag

AbstractThe problem of manterrupting, i.e. men interrupting women to take control of a conversation, claiming superior knowledge, or discrediting women's arguments, has garnered major attention in social and traditional media. Yet scholarly accounts of gendered speech interruption patterns in parliamentary debates are less common. In this article, I argue that manterrupting can be considered a form of resistance against women in politics and, in its worst iteration, prevent female representatives from representing women's interests. This article will analyze the problem of ‘manterrupting’ regarding parliamentary debates in Germany by investigating the nature and extent of male interruptions during parliamentary debates in the 17th legislative period. Drawing on insights from social psychology and masculinity studies, this article finds that in the case of Germany, manterruptions are neither systemic and frequent enough to constitute a form of resistance against women in politics nor do they prevent female representatives from engaging in the substantive representation of women.

Resumen: Los medios digitales permiten una comunicación más directa que los tradicionales. Los activistas pueden optimizar su labor al encontrar nuevas formas de difundir mensajes, construidos en formatos audiovisuales con un componente estratégico para contrarrestar problemas sociales, como la violencia de género. Con esta investigación se pretende determinar si el arte digital es una herramienta persuasiva contra este problema en el entorno online. Esto se resolvió a través de dos etapas: la primera consta de una revisión bibliográfica; la segunda consiste en el análisis de contenidos sobre el desarrollo de las acciones online de artivistas que luchan contra la violencia de género, y sobre los proyectos influyentes (según ONU Mujeres y el Festival Iberoamericano de la Publicidad – FIAP) que se han realizado en distintos contextos geográficos, identificando su difusión en plataformas de comunicación, los formatos, contenidos, audiencia y engagement. Se detectó que no se aprovecha estratégicamente la comunicación 2.0; los pocos artivistas que tienen presencia en Internet se limitan a convocar a acciones offline; si bien los proyectos influyentes rompen estereotipos y promueven la participación de la audiencia, no se dirigen a los adolescentes, que son quienes más utilizan Internet. El trabajo multidisciplinario es clave para diseñar soportes altamente visuales y persuasivos.Abstract: Digital media allow a more direct communication than traditional media. Activists can optimize their work finding new ways to spread messages, which are built in audiovisual formats with a strategic component to counteract social problems, such as gender violence. The objective of this research is to determine if digital art is a persuasive tool against this problem in the online environment. This was resolved through two stages: the first one consists of a bibliographic review; the second one consists of a content analysis on the development of online actions by artivists who work against violence of gender, and on the influential projects (according to UN Women and the Ibero-American Advertising Festival - FIAP) that have been carried out in different geographical contexts, identifying their diffusion in communication platforms, the formats, contents, audience and engagement. It was detected that 2.0 communication is not used strategically; the few artivists with presence on the Internet only call for offline actions; Although influential projects break stereotypes and promote audience participation, they do not target adolescents, the ones who most use the Internet. Multidisciplinary work is key to designing highly visual and persuasive supports.

Aims: The critical task of positively identifying membership of the communities with which we work prior to initiating programs of research purporting to represent said communities is often forgone and treated as self-evident. This study demonstrates undertaking this task at the outset of a program of research by gathering member self-definitions of a relational, online and face-to-face community- the Fighting Game Community.Methods: Borrowing from social identity theory in social psychology, this study uses a prototypic approach and thematic content analysis with 319 open-ended descriptions of “good players” and “bad player” deviants.Results: In general, having a growth mindset and winning games were the most crucial amongst divergent themes. Of equal interest, definitions were not consensual across the community; some directly conflicted with one another. These definitions represented a community with fuzzy boundaries, that exists more as a multi-layered tapestry than a black-and-white unit with sharply delineated boundaries.

Content Analyses

Qualitative content analyses often rely on a top-down approach to understand themes in a collection of texts. A codebook prescribes how humans should qualitatively judge whether a text fits a theme based on rules and judgment criteria. Qualitative approaches are challenging because they require many resources (e.g., coders, training, rounds of coding), can be affected by researcher or coder bias, and may miss meaningful patterns that deviate from the codebook. A complementary, bottom-up approach — the Meaning Extraction Method — has been popular in social psychology but rarely applied to communication research. This paper outlines the value of qualitative content analysis and the Meaning Extraction Method, concluding with a guide to conduct analyses of content and themes from massive datasets, quantitatively. The Meaning Extraction Method is performed on a public and published archive of pet adoption profiles to demonstrate the approach. Considerations for communication research are offered.

The last decade have a number of advocacy think tanks established themselves as a part of the Norwegian political system. The think tanks’ political goal is to influence decision makers and populations, and visibility in the traditional media is an important means. We know little about if they manage to reach their goals, but a content analysis of the largest Norwegian newspapers shows that they have significantly achieved media visibility. 12 advocacy think tanks were active in Norway in 2013. All of them are small. All together they employ 30-40 people. Despite this limited scope, they were in 2013 featured 565 times in the country’s seven largest newspapers, substantially more than central and much mission-research institute. The review is mainly positive and according to the think tanks’ own terms. They are largely labelled as a "neutral experts", not part-sources.

The aspiration of young people for fame – a wide public recognition – has risen in recent years. This fame-valuation is a concern for scholars, educators, and parents as it has been linked with teen self-focused aspirations, narcissism, and materialism. This rise in the value of fame has been linked to two trends: teens' increased attraction to celebrities and their use of social networking sites (SNSs). SNSs have changed the landscape of celebrity media presence compared to traditional media and enable a shift in balance between a professional and personal focus in the celebrity's brand image. Such a balance might have implications for the relationships audiences form with celebrities and, by extension, for adolescent fame-valuation. The current study examines the SNS (Facebook and Instagram) posts of teen-favored celebrities in order to map the characteristics of the messages to which adolescents are heavily exposed, that might reinforce their fascination with fame. The study is based on a content analysis of 1,075 posts by 24 teen-favored local and foreign celebrities in Israel. The study finds that celebrities' SNS posts lack depth in personal self-disclosure and are rather strongly focused on their professional lives – job-related activities, achievements, and self-promotion. Though SNSs present limited gatekeeping restrictions, celebrities choose to present a controlled image of themselves that is unprovocative, as evident in their promoted values, exhibited lifestyle, and physical representation.

This study examined the relationship between elite news media agendas and campaign agendas during the 2016 presidential primary season. Computer-assisted content analysis was used to assess issue emphasis within Twitter feeds of U.S. presidential primary candidates and their campaigns as well as the nation’s top newspapers. The relationship between the overall Twitter agenda and that of newspapers, as well as the influence of front-runners Clinton, Cruz, Sanders, and Trump, was investigated using time series analysis. Aggregate and candidate-specific findings reveal some reciprocal relationships, but overall greater influence of newspapers on the Twitter agenda was detected. Findings suggest that Twitter has the potential to break free from and influence traditional media gatekeeping.

Self Knowledge

Students enrolled in Social Psychology kept application journals, in which they applied course concepts to their daily social experiences. A content analysis of the entries revealed evidence of the acquisition of 12 possible farms of self-knowledge, defined by applying each of 4 cognitive operations (labeling, explaining, educing consequences, and self-assessing) to each of 3 different aspects of the self (thoughts, feelings, and actions). This analysis provides instructors with a framework for assessing various dimensions of an important component of student psychosocial development: understanding the self.
