Gender in Financial Services Advertising – Issues and Implications (Conference presentation)
Sandhu, N./ Mahajan, R./ Sharma, S.
This study examines the use of gender in television commercials for financial services in India. Sixty-three taped
television commercials were content analyzed across four variables – gender of voice-over, gender of dominant product
user, gender of dominant character and gender of decision-maker. Two independent coders of different gender coded the
commercials. The reliability of coding was established with the help of Perreault and Leigh’s Reliability Index. Gender
preference for the male gender was found to exist in all the four variables examined. It is thus recommended that when
attempting self-regulation in advertising, gender bias is an important factor to be considered by advertisers and corporate
houses. This can be instrumental in serving desirable social and commercial purposes.
