Portrayals Of Power: A Content Analysis Of Gender Dominance In Magazine Advertisements, John Nicholas Holladay

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Advertisers use sexual imagery to attract attention to their messages and to demonstrate the "outcomes" of buying and using the brand.

Vicarious learning emphasizes that individuals not only learn from their own experiences but also from observing others. However, vicarious learning also influences the judgment and values of an individual. This study focuses on the portrayal of gender dominance in such advertisements. The magazines chosen for the study are three predominantly female magazines and three predominantly male magazines. Six issues from each magazine were sampled and …
