维基百科上的德国性别不平等测量

Measuring Gender Inequalities of German Professions on Wikipedia

Olga Zagovora

摘要:

维基百科是一个社区创建的在线百科全书;可以说,它是互联网上最受欢迎、最大的知识资源。因此,可靠性和中立性对维基百科来说非常重要。先前的研究[3]揭示了许多职业和职业的谷歌搜索结果中的性别偏见。此外,维基百科因传记中存在性别偏见[4]和编辑社区中的性别差距而受到批评[5,6]。因此,人们可以预期,与专业和职业相关的性别偏见可能存在于维基百科中。性别偏见一词在这里是指在专业和职业方面有意识或无意识地偏袒一种性别而不是另一种性别。这项工作的目的是查明和评估性别偏见。为此,德语维基百科关于职业和职业的文章从三个维度进行了分析:重定向,图像和文章中提到的人。这项工作提供的证据表明,男子在所有三个方面的系统性代表性偏高;女性偏见只存在于少数职业。

英文摘要:

Wikipedia is a community-created online encyclopedia; arguably, it is the most popular and largest knowledge resource on the Internet. Thus, reliability and neutrality are of high importance for Wikipedia. Previous research [3] reveals gender bias in Google search results for many professions and occupations. Also, Wikipedia was criticized for existing gender bias in biographies [4] and gender gap in the editor community [5, 6]. Thus, one could expect that gender bias related to professions and occupations may be present in Wikipedia. The term gender bias is used here in the sense of conscious or unconscious favoritism towards one gender over another [47] with respect to professions and occupations. The objective of this work is to identify and assess gender bias. To this end, the German Wikipedia articles about professions and occupations were analyzed on three dimensions: redirections, images, and people mentioned in the articles. This work provides evidence for systematic overrepresentation of men in all three dimensions; female bias is only present for a few professions.
