{% extends "global/Page.html" %} {% load otree static %} {% block title %} Thanks for helping me! {% endblock %} {% block content %} You will now be going through the media exposure part of my experiment. You will get a mix of different types of treatments, unlike real participants who will get only one type (neutral, discriminatory or counter-discriminatory).

You will be doing the following:
1) Reading 5 media samples more or less as they would appear (but without the corresponding picture). After each sample, you will be asked to answer 2 "media questions" about the sample that the real participants will be asked. Then you will be asked which treatment (neutral, discriminatory or counter-discriminatory) that you think that sample belonged to. Please go at the pace you think is normal for an undergraduate who knows they earn a little money for each correct answer they give to questions about the media.
2) Viewing 15 pictures and judging for each one which treatment (neutral, discriminatory or counter-discriminatory) that you think each picture belonged to: use your first impression rather than thinking it over.
3) You will find out how many of the "media questions" (those about the content of the media texts that participants will also answer) you got correct! All of you will get some sugary reimbursement for being so kind as to help me today! While you enjoy the reimbursement, I will ask you to give me some feedback verbally.

Before you start, here is what I am trying to capture with the treatments:

Neutral: No reference to gender is made, no gender is seen in the pictures, any discussion made has as few gender stereotypes or gender cues as is possible!

Discriminatory: One or more of the following occurs.
- Stereotyping based on gender
- Hostility towards women
- Competence of political women, but not men, is questioned
- Men are referred to by their proper title and in professional terms, while women are referred to by first name, family status and may be discussed in an unprofessional manner

Counter-discriminatory: One or more of the following occurs.
- Men and women are seen in counter-stereotypical roles or saying things that are against gender stereotypical behaviour.
- Examples of gender equality in society are discussed, and not in a negative way (i.e., does not count: 'Unfortunately, we can't catcall women anymore because we can get a fine'. Does count: 'The new law against catcalling has made many women feel safer walking the streets in the evening.')

But overall, use your gut reaction. I have tried to make this subtle in order to not tip participants off that the media is an experimental treatment, but that doesn't mean it should be so subtle it won't have impact!

Press next to start! And thanks again :) {% next_button %} 3) Getting a final page to give a comment, if you would like, on the overall impressions of the samples (although we will discuss it all together as well, but maybe there is something you think is especially important!)
