A majority of Americans recognize the inadequacy of female representation in leadership.

But news coverage may have influence in forming attitudes and in driving action.

A team of psychology researchers examined whether reframing this gender gap in terms of “men’s overrepresentation” would have an impact on perceptions of the issue and on motivations to address it.

“Framing the gender gap in politics as due to men’s advantages is not only affects how women view this concern, but also prompts action to combat it,” concludes lead author Usman Liaquat , an NYU doctoral student at the time of the study.
