她是Reddit:一个统计上显著的性别兴趣信息的来源?

She's Reddit: A source of statistically significant gendered interest information?

Mike Thelwall, Emma Stuart

摘要:

在就业等方面发生性别不平等时,需要提供关于性别利益差异的信息,以理清歧视和选择的影响。本文评估了流行的社交新闻和娱乐网站Reddit中的性别差异。在100个subreddits的1.81亿条评论中,一种检测男性或女性在统计学上使用得更多的术语的方法表明,性别影响了subreddits的选择和其中大多数的活动。该方法避免了隐藏的性别偏见的主题建模这项任务。尽管该方法显示了Reddit上广泛讨论的主题的统计学显著性别差异,但它不能给出明确的原因,并且网站内的模仿和共享意味着需要额外的检查来验证结果。尽管如此,只要小心,Reddit可以成为了解性别兴趣差异的有用来源。

英文摘要:

Information about gender differences in interests is necessary to disentangle the effects of discrimination and choice when gender inequalities occur, such as in employment. This article assesses gender differences in interests within the popular social news and entertainment site Reddit. A method to detect terms that are statistically significantly used more by males or females in 181 million comments in 100 subreddits shows that gender affects both the selection of subreddits and activities within most of them. The method avoids the hidden gender biases of topic modelling for this task. Although the method reveals statistically significant gender differences in interests for topics that are extensively discussed on Reddit, it cannot give definitive causes, and imitation and sharing within the site mean that additional checking is needed to verify the results. Nevertheless, with care, Reddit can serve as a useful source of insights into gender differences in interests.
