Abstract:

Is a belief true when it is due to a lucky guess? This study replicated Turri and colleagues' (2014) study investigating how we make judgments of others' knowledge (i.e., what they know). In this replication, 97 participants completed a short survey that compared three different conditions-one in which the character made the right decision due to their knowledge ("Knowledge"), one in which the character made the right decision due to a lucky guess ("Gettier"), and one in which the character was wrong ("Ignorance"). It was found that subjects attributed knowledge and reasonableness to the chara

Abstract:

Anime characters make use of many linguistic features, such as grammatical patterns, vocabulary, and vocal quality, to index specific character traits or archetypes. This includes both “role language”, associated with membership in social groups, and “character language”, associated with more abstract traits such as personality. This paper aims to expand upon the description of the archetypes conveyed through a traditionally feminine vocal quality called “sweet voice” and discusses how the use of this style in anime has broadened to encompass more masculine characters and archetypes as well.

Although animated characters are based on human features, these features are exaggerated. These exaggerations greatly differ by country, gender, and the character’s role in the story.

In particular, these similarities and differences can be used to formulate a shared set of principles for US and Japanese animated character designs; 90 Japanese and 90 US cartoon characters were analyzed.

ABSTRACT The focus of this study is Sam Shepard's Eyes for Consuela, a play which scrutinizes the functions and dysfunctions of human relationships in terms of societal and family structures. In this paper we examine Eyes for Consuela as a play conveying men's struggle for identity. Moreover, it depicts how the struggle between the two leading male characters is resolved by the primary female character in the play. As such, the play dramatizes how male characters' struggle for identity is preoccupied by their relation to female characters. Shepard's play presents the journey of an Americ

Contemporary media is full of images that reflect traditional gender notions and stereotypes, some of which may perpetuate harmful gender representations. In an effort to highlight the occurrence of these adverse portrayals, researchers have proposed machine-learning methods to identify stereotypes in the language patterns found in character dialogues. However, not all of the harmful stereotypes are communicated just through dialogue. As a complementary approach, we present a large-scale machine-learning framework that automatically identifies character’s actions from scene descriptions found

Abstract:

The extant research focused on gender understood as a single item to explain wishful identification and parasocial relationships with TV characters. This study focused on gendered personality traits and how they contribute to wishful identification, parasocial relationships with (non-)stereotypical male and female characters of the TV series Modern Family, and the series enjoyment in general. Participants (N = 508) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions with questions about either stereotypical male or female or non-stereotypical male or female characters.

Abstract:

The three Amphicoma species, including Amphicoma lalashanensis n. sp., from Taiwan are reviewed with diagnoses, descriptions, illustrations, distributional data and natural history of each species. The analysis of new sets of characters on the genital capsule, flagellum articulating to temones and basal piece extension of the male genitalia were found to be helpful in delimitating the three Amphicoma species in addition to the previously established diagnostic paramere characters. Two other undocumented character states on median lobe of the male genitalia are also discussed.

Abstract:

The adoption of cross-dressing by male characters in Italian comedy films of the 1910s has previously received little critical attention. Far from being isolated representations of queer behaviour, cross-dressing was more prolific both on-screen (and off) than was previously thought.  Within the early comedy canon lie the male-female cross-dressing films where the narrative is suspended to allow the audience to gaze upon the cross-dressed character. These films offer audiences a trans-perspective as their gaze is directed by the cross-dressed character to the transgendered body. The quee

This paper aims to examine a representation of gender-based violence words inside video games. This study focused on processing textual data inside video games, where Genshin Impact’s in-game textual data is the chosen object of research. In previous research regarding modern media, gender male was always related to violence words more than female. Uncovering the result from the comparison of violence words used Genshin between males and females is the main goal of this study.

This research examines how father‒daughter relationships influence Chinese female players’ dependence on these virtual characters and explores the mediating role of attachment styles. The study involved 235 female Otome game players and utilized the ECR-C, FPQ-R-B and IVIS questionnaires.

Abstract:

Literature enables authors to express various societal matters. Shakespeare provides a wide range of information from the Elizabethan era through his works. An important issue that is evident in his work is gender roles. The roles of characters, as described by Shakespeare, show social norms that define female and male genders. Female characters in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Othello are underestimated because of the stereotypical gender roles. The roles involving female characters revolve around the homestead, unless where a female character is from a wealthy family, a queen or a pri

Minor characters usually refer to characters in novels with ordinary character settings and no background. This paper takes the specific writing of minor nobodies in Rickshaw Boy as the object of study. In terms of character categorization, the gender of minor nobodies is used as a criterion to make a simple distinction, and then the characters’ personality traits are analyzed in detail. Through character analysis, it is found that the number of female nobodies is relatively small, and the types of roles are relatively single, and among them, there is more emphasis on the role of disenfranchis

The Victorian novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848), which looks upon the movement from a certain environment by the main character, is investigated in this study. The female protagonist goes through various incidents with different female and male characters which ultimately forms her identity and way of thinking. This study argues by using ecocritical theories that nature or its absence can have a great effect on a person. Through using Lawrence Buell’s five-dimensional phenomenology the significance of place is analyzed in this book. This is followed by the application of the ecofeminist

Such a disclosure is thematized in Nietzsche’s text as love.

Abstract:

The degree of reversed size dimorphism between male and female Great Horned Owls in Alberta was examined by measuring 18 skeletal and 7 external characters on museum specimens. Females are significantly larger than males on all characters except skull width, which is larger in males. The degree of sexual size dimorphism is highest for flight characters and weight and weaker for skull, body core, and lower limb elements. High variances associated with external characters make the use of Storer's dimorphism index an unreliable measure of between-sex differences. External characters show weak int
