Lyrics of Gender Well-Being: A Definition and Exploration of Well-Being Dimensions That Define Gendered Experiences
研究提出性别福祉框架,包含安全、获取、归属、赋权、能动性和健康六个维度,并通过分析Billboard百强歌曲歌词,发现男女艺术家在音乐表达中强调不同维度,对研究者、营销者和政策制定者有参考价值。
This research introduces gender well-being, a novel framework that defines and structures gendered experiences of well-being through six core dimensions spanning individual and societal levels: safety, access, belonging, empowerment, agency, and health. Given music's cultural influence, the authors examine how these dimensions emerge in popular culture by analyzing lyrics from the Billboard Top 100 across seven decades. Using n-gram analysis and topic modeling, they uncover gendered patterns in musical expression: Male artists consistently highlight empowerment and health, while female artists emphasize agency and belonging. The study contributes to consumer well-being theory by establishing gender well-being as a critical construct to consider in research and practice. Researchers, marketers, policymakers, and artists can leverage these insights to design campaigns, interventions, and narratives that resonate with gendered experiences to achieve greater consumer well-being.
