- 7. Gender Equality Index Developed by ABX GEI measures perceptions of how female/male actors are portrayed in the media by asking consumers about four key characteristics: • Opinion of how the each gender’s character(s) is being presented • If character(s) is portrayed in a respectful manner • If character(s) is presented in an inappropriate manner (eg., sexual stereotyping, objectification, etc.) • If character(s) is viewed as a positive role model The assessment for each ad is compared to a normative database of thousands of other ads, the largest source of advertising data metrics of this type. The GEI score represents an index where 100 represents the average female/male gender score for all ads ABX developed the GEI and has licensed its use to the ANA’s #SEEHER program where it is referred to as the Gender Equality Measure - GEM™
