James F. Evans Collection, This study provides a quantitative content analysis of the depictions of sex roles in the American news magazine Time and the West German news magazine Stern from 1969 to 1988. The underlying assumption of the study is that advertisements reflect changes in social reality. While most studies focus on explicit aspects of gender role depictions such as jobs, activities, interactions and situations, this content analysis also covers implicit aspects of role depictions such as posture, gestures, and facial expression. Some authors have claimed that these are powerful means of transmitting traditional sex role stereotypes of women as being submissive and of men being dominant. Results indicate that while there have been considerable changes in the explicit presentation of male and female roles, the implicit presentation remained quite consistent over the 20-year period. According to these findings, sex roles may have changed primarily on the surface, while nonverbal sex role stereotypes still linger on. Differences between the developments in Germany and the US are outlined. (original)

9 pages., Via online journal., Certain pesticides are coming under scrutiny because of their impact on pollinator insects. Although most consumers express willingness to aid pollinators, the reasons for consumers’ preferences or barriers to purchasing pollinator-friendly plants and the types of pollinators’ that consumers are trying to protect are less understood. Using an online survey of 1200 Connecticut (CT) consumers, of which 841 had home landscapes, we find that 46% of consumers with home landscapes purchased pollinator-friendly plants to attract pollinators to their landscape. Consistent with past research that focused on consumers’ preferences for pollinator-friendly plants, the data also reveal that some consumers are willing to pay premiums for plants that contribute to pollinator’s health. However, only 17% stated that attracting pollinators was their primary motivation; a finding that suggests labeling alone will likely not motivate consumers to purchase plants. The major barriers to purchasing pollinator-friendly plants included lack of labeling (cited by 28%), followed by high price (28%). Consumers purchasing pollinator-friendly plants were trying to attract butterflies (Lepidoptera) (78%), bees (Apidae) (59%), hummingbirds (Trochilidae) (59%), and other birds (41%). We also find that demographics and purchasing behavior affect barriers and types of pollinators desired. Simply labeling plants has the potential to increase purchasing, but increasing price could be detrimental as many consumers feel pollinator-friendly plants are highly priced. Implications for ornamental horticulture stakeholders are discussed.
