“…The codebook was derived from previous research (Kim, 2012), which contained 70 items including inventory items of a news story—the topic each source was interviewed for in each news story. Topics were divided into two categories: The first was feminine or traditionally female-identified (e.g., Civil Rights/Minorities, The Elderly, Education, Environment, Health Care, Poverty, Children/Family, Social Welfare, Women’s Rights, and Philanthropy); the second were masculine or traditionally male-identified issues (e.g., Business, Budget/Government Spending, Profit Making, Micro Economy, Foreign Policy, International Issues/Politics, International Trade, Management, Farm/Agriculture Issues, Tax, Military/Homeland Security, Real Estate, and Science/Technology).…”

“…Adversely, female leaders who show that they are strongly agentic and qualified for leadership are considered violating the traditional rules by “trespassing on the traditionally ‘masculine’ world” (Anderson, Diabah, & Afrakoma Mensa, 2011, p. 2509). By highlighting information on female leaders’ traditional roles or personal traits, the news media either directly or indirectly associate them with areas that are stereotypically viewed as suiting their femaleness (Kim, 2012). Taking a similar approach, this study hypothesized the following:…”

This study combines two research methods to explore how female leaders are portrayed in the news in Vietnam, and Vietnamese journalists’ perception of female and male leaders. Content analysis indicated that female leaders are under- and misrepresented. Female leader sources seldom appear in the news. When they do, they are more likely to be interviewed on traditionally feminine issues. Survey findings demonstrated that gender stereotypes are pervasive among journalists, influencing their perception of news sources. Journalists believe male sources possess stronger work-oriented and agentic traits while female sources are more socially oriented and communal. Results confirmed role congruity theory’s applicability in studying media in a non-Western country.

“…For Study 2, which uses the actual measures approach (Holbert, Hmielowski, & Weeks, 2012; Iyengar & Hahn, 2009), respondents were asked to report their level of exposure to four news media in the Wave 1 survey— Chosun Ilbo, Donga Ilbo, Hangyeore , and Kyunghyang . The first two are conservative news media and have the highest circulation in Korea, while the latter two are liberal news outlets (Kim, 2012). Each news media use was measured by asking how frequently respondents were exposed to each news outlet on a 7-point scale (1 = never to 7 = very frequently ).…”

This study examines how selective exposure and interpersonal political disagreement influence political polarization. Using data sets from two countries, the United States and South Korea, this study investigates the association between individuals' selective exposure and attitude polarization and proposes that disagreement in political discussion networks can be a potential moderating variable attenuating the association between selective exposure and polarization. Results across the two nations confirm that individuals' selective likeminded media use is associated with greater polarized attitudes. Findings further show that encountering dissimilar opinions through interpersonal discussion networks generally weakens the association between selective exposure and political polarization, despite some evidence indicating that disagreement leads to more polarized attitudes rather than attenuating polarization. The implications of the findings are discussed.A close relation between people's likeminded media use and political polarization has been demonstrated in the literature-that is, people's consumption of media outlets that share their own political dispositions may lead them to develop more polarized attitudes toward certain issues and political figures (Slater, 2007;Stroud, 2010). Less is known, however, about what factors might attenuate this political polarization process. Although

“…Empirical research that compares the reliance on gender stereotypes in self-portrayal and controlled campaign messages to their role in news coverage is rare. One notable exception is a study by Kim (2012) that examines the 2007 Korean presidential primary campaign of the female candidate Geunhye Park. In line with our assumptions, the study shows that news coverage focuses much stronger on gender stereotypical issues like physical appearance and the candidate's private life than the campaign website.…”

Using the case of the 2019 European election, the study compares the visual self-depiction of female and male political candidates from all European Union’s 28 member states on social networking sites and their depiction in the news coverage. It thereby investigates to what degree the news coverage and politicians’ self-depiction employs visual gender stereotypes. Moreover, the study presents results on differences in the depiction of male and female candidates across party lines. With the help of computational vision, we demonstrate that, while differences between progressive and conservative candidates are scarce, there are clear differences in the depiction of female and male politicians. These differences resemble emotional gender stereotypes, especially since women are more often depicted as happy. Overall, the study demonstrates that female political communication is still distinct from male political communication for both their self-representation as well as the media’s portrayal of political candidates.
