Article on the effect of sexism on women’s participation in political online discussions published in Communication Research
This study tests whether seeing female politicians in the news encourages other women to participate in online discussions, or if the sexist backlash they receive has the opposite effect. Our experiment reveals that sexist comments are a powerful deterrent that increases women's fear and lowers their confidence, while the presence of a female role model alone provides no significant boost to participation.
