dc.description.notesResearch reveals that the percentage of female speaking characters in top-grossing movies has<br/ >not meaningfully changed in roughly a half of a century. Further, women are often stereotyped<br/ >and sexualized when they are depicted in popular content. Occupationally, our previous research<br/ >shows that few women hold positions of power and importance on screen. While Hollywood is<br/ >quick to capitalize on new audiences and opportunities abroad, the industry is slow to progress in<br/ >creating compelling and complex roles for females. Is this tendency to under- and misrepresent<br/ >women an American phenomenon, or does gender imbalance occur on a worldwide scale?<br/ >The purpose of this study is to explore the visibility and nature of female depictions in films<br/ >worldwide. To address this goal, we content analyzed gender roles in popular films across<br/ >the 10 most profitable territories internationally (Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany,<br/ >India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom) as reported by the Motion Picture<br/ >Association of America (MPAA) in 2012.en
