The journal paper - COVERING IN COVER LETTERS: GENDER AND SELF-PRESENTATION IN JOB APPLICATIONS https://journals.aom.org/doi/pdf/10.5465/AMBPP.2019.275 https://journals.aom.org/doi/pdf/10.5465/AMBPP.2019.275 How gendered language was measured: > We used a computerized text analysis tool, Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC; Pennebaker, Booth, & Francis, 2007) to compute a measure of gendered language for each job application material (Gaucher et al., 2011). How women self-reported downplaying their gender: > Job seekers downplayed gender incongruence by: removing gender-incongruent hobbies or extracurriculars; describing themselves with less gender-incongruent language; altering their name; or removing gender-incongruent job experiences.
