Abstract

We introduce the Social Media Sexist Content (SMSC) database, an open-access online stimulus set consisting of 382 social media content items and 221 comments related to the content. The content items include 90 sexist posts and 292 neutral posts. The comment items include 75 sexist comments along with 238 neutral comments. The database consists of a broad range of topics including lifestyle, memes, and school posts. All posts were anonymized after being retrieved from publicly available sources. All content and comments were rated across two domains: degree of sexism and emotional reaction to the post. In terms of sexism, the posts were rated along three dimensions of gender bias: Hostile Sexism, Benevolent Sexism, and Objectification. Participants also provided their emotional reactions to the posts in terms of feeling Ashamed, Insecure, and/or Angry. Data were collected online in two separate studies: one rating the content and the other rating the comments. The sexism and emotion ratings were highly reliable and showed the posts displayed either sexism or neutral content. The SMSC database is beneficial to researchers because it offers updated social media content for research use online and in the lab. The database affords researchers the ability to explore stimuli either by content or by ratings, and the database is free to use for research purposes. The SMSC is available for download from hannahbuie.com.

社会媒体性别歧视内容(SMSC)数据库:一个用于研究的内容和评论数据库

我们引入了社交媒体性别歧视内容(SMSC)数据库，这是一个开放获取的在线刺激集，由382个社交媒体内容项目和221个与内容相关的评论组成。内容项包括90个性别歧视帖子和292个中性帖子。评论条目包括75条性别歧视评论和238条中性评论。该数据库包含广泛的主题，包括生活方式、表情包和学校帖子。所有帖子都是在从公开来源检索后匿名的。所有的内容和评论都分为两个方面:性别歧视程度和对帖子的情绪反应。在性别歧视方面，这些帖子根据性别偏见的三个维度进行评分:敌意性别歧视、善意性别歧视和物化。参与者还提供了他们对帖子的情绪反应，如感到羞耻、不安全和/或愤怒。数据是在两个独立的研究中在线收集的:一个对内容进行评级，另一个对评论进行评级。性别歧视和情绪评级是高度可靠的，表明帖子要么显示性别歧视，要么显示中性内容。SMSC数据库对研究人员是有益的，因为它为在线和实验室的研究提供了最新的社会媒体内容。该数据库为研究人员提供了通过内容或评级来探索刺激的能力，并且该数据库可免费用于研究目的。SMSC可从hannahbuie.com下载。
