论文摘要
审美偏好被认为是高度主观的，从而固有地对审美对象进行了嘈杂的判断，但是美学判断的某些方面随着时间的推移显示了收敛的趋势。本文介绍了一项研究，该研究使用文学评论作为审美判断的代理，以识别可以归因于偏见的系统成分。具体而言，我们发现报纸上文学质量的判断表现出对男性作家的偏爱的性别偏见。男性审稿人具有相同的性别偏好，而女性审稿人则表现出相反的性别偏好。尽管存在这种明显的性别差异，但我们认为它反映了一种文化性别对抗。
Aesthetic preferences are considered highly subjective resulting in inherently noisy judgements of aesthetic objects, yet certain aspects of aesthetic judgement display convergent trends over time. This paper present a study that uses literary reviews as a proxy for aesthetic judgement in order to identify systematic components that can be attributed to bias. Specifically we find that judgement of literary quality in newspapers displays a gender bias in preference of male writers. Male reviewers have a same gender preference while female reviewer show an opposite gender preference. While alternative accounts exist of this apparent gender disparity, we argue that it reflects a cultural gender antagonism.
