{ "pk": 28068, "title": "Language use shapes cultural norms: Large scale evidence from gender", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Cultural norms vary dramatically across social groups. Herewe use large scale data to examine the extent to which languageplays a role in shaping one such norm—the gender norm to as-sociate men with careers and women with family. We measurecross-cultural variability in this gender bias using previously-collected estimates from the Implicit Association Task (IAT; N= 663,709). We then try to predict bias variability by the waythat gender is encoded in language semantics and grammar.We quantify gender bias in semantics using word-embeddingmodels trained on different languages. Our data suggest thatthe linguistic encoding of gender predicts the degree of speak-ers’ gender bias in the IAT, pointing to a causal role for lan-guage in shaping gender norms.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Cultural Norms" }, { "word": "IAT" }, { "word": "gender" }, { "word": "LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY" } ], "section": "Publication-based-Talks", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5v32f76n", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Molly", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lewis", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Gary", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lupyan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2018-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28068/galley/17707/download/" } ] }
