“…Indeed, perhaps no substantive area has been more thoroughly content analyzed across all media than that of the roles of males and females (Neuendorf 2002). Studies have compared male and female behaviors and attributes for domestic and international content in media ranging from film and television (e.g., Fernandez-Villanueva et al 2009;Smith 1999) to children's books (Anderson and Hamilton 2005), men's magazines (Ricciardelli et al 2010), video games (e.g., Martins et al 2009), radio talk shows (Brinson and Winn 1997), and even postage stamps (Ogletree et al 1994) and birth congratulatory cards (Bridges 1993). Research on gender images in advertising seems to be particularly popular in recent years (An and Kim 2007;Baker 2005;Fullerton and Kendrick 2000;Ibroscheva 2007;Lindner 2004;Messineo 2008;Odekerken-Schroder et al 2002;Uray and Burnaz 2003;Valls-Fernandez and Martinez-Vicente 2007).…”

This article is intended to serve as a primer on methodological standards for gender scholars pursuing content analytic research. The scientific underpinnings of the method are explored, including the roles of theory, past research, population definition, objectivity/intersubjectivity, reliability, validity, generalizability, and replicability. Both human coding and computer coding are considered. The typical process of human-coded content analysis is reviewed, including the steps of unitizing, sampling, measurement, coder training, reliability assessment, and reportage of methods. Numerous applications to research on gender roles and related issues are reviewed. Practical checklists are offered for content analysis preparation and methodological execution.

“…As Brinson and Winn (1997) note, "given the large audiences to whom talk shows communicate, it is important to analyze the messages contained in the programs" (p. 25). The media texts subject to critical inquiry include Psy's televised appearances on daytime talk shows, and late-night variety and comedy programs.…”

Psy-Zing up the Mainstreaming of “Gangnam Style”

Through the media mania of Psy's "Gangnam Style," this paper examines the ideological implications of the video's crossover appeal and its celebrated reception on U.S. national television. This paper analyzes whether the celebratory reception of "Gangnam Style" offer alternative discourses or reinforce ideological constructions of Asian masculinity. A critical decoding of the audiovisual text and Psy's U.S. media appearances identifies the ideological implications that reflect the emasculation discourse that situates Asian masculinity as neo-minstrelsy. Psy's television appearances indicate that his celebratory embrace is due in part because his image and physicality conform to racialized constructions in the larger body politic. This inquiry provides critical insight into how the popular embrace of audiovisual text reflects the emasculation discourse that defines Asian men.

“…Although few mass communication studies have touched upon conversational interruptions (three rare examples are Brinson & Winn, 1997;Lauzen & Dozier, 1999;Zhao, Barnett, Cai, & Crane, 2001), a rich literature on this interactional phenomenon has accumulated in the realms of social linguistics and sociology. A widely assumed theoretical perspective in the research on conversation interruption is that of conversation analysis, a sociological approach derived from the ethnomethodological studies of verbal interaction.…”

“…The typological approach can also be applied to nonfiction programming. A few research studies have investigated the use of interruptions in political debates and talk show interviews (Brinson & Winn, 1997;Bull & Mayer, 1988). It would be interesting to see how interruptions with different natures are allocated between interviewers and interviewees, between debate participants, between sports commentators, between cohosts of news broadcasts, and so forth.…”

Disruptive and Cooperative Interruptions in Prime-Time Television Fiction: The Role of Gender, Status, and Topic

Speech characteristics of male and female characters in fictional television have received only scant attention in media content research. A content analysis ofprime-time television revealed that male characters were more likely to initiate disruptive interruptions than female characters whereas female characters were more likely to use cooperative interruptions than male characters. Such differences, however, were moderated by status differential between interactants and topic of conversation. Significant gender differences persisted only when the interrupters were of higher status than the interrupted and when the topic of the conversation was about work. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.Differential representation of men and women in the media has received a good deal of attention from mass communication researchers (e.g., Seidman, 1992;Signorielli, McLeod, & Healy, 1994). A shared theme in this line of research is that the way in which people, particularly women, are portrayed and treated in the media reflects and reinforces the commonly held beliefs about them in society at large (Gunter, 1995). However, although research on men's and women's physical and social images in the media abounds, the two sexes' speech characteristics in the media world are seldom investigated. This scarcity is especially surprising given the fact that language plays a central role in the creation and development of media characters. In view of this, the present research focused its attention on one particular conversational phenomenon, the interruption, in prime-time television fiction. A week's worth of prime-time sitcoms and dramas from the four major commercial networks were content analyzed. We investigated the patterns in which different types of interruptions are distributed between male and female television characters and examined the effects of status and conversation topic on the occurrence of interruptions and their interplay with gender effects.
