The present study examines the question of gender differences in political communication via mass media. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the level of competence and performance on the part of the famale electorate. It is well documented in the literature that differences between the sexes exist on such important variable as the degree of political participation and the feeling of political efficacy. The empirical findings have presented evidence that women are rarely as politically involved or interested as men. It is simply because of the fact that social and cultural forces have affected the role and opportunities available for women and men in a different fashion. The findings also suggest that women are rarely as active in political communication as men. It is also because of the sex-typing in the ways in which individuals are socialized into communicative behavior including interpersonal a well as mass communication use habits. The present study thus explors gender differences in political communication behavior from a political socialization, perspective. The data for this study were gathered in a survey of 1160 voters which was conducted across the nation immediately after the Presidential election in December, 1987. The respondents were selected according to a demographic quota matrix by trained interviewers at the locales which were selected through a multi-stage probability sampling procedure. A half-hour personal interview was conducted with each respondent by the trained interviewers. Our data, on the whole, confirmed the findings reported in the literature. Statistically significant differences between the sexes were found in the relative use of public affairs content in television, newspaper and magazine. Television emerged as the most helpful source of political information largely because of strong favorable ratings among the female respondents. Television appeared to be the most easily accessible medium of political information for women. The time spent daily with the medium was found in the female subgroup to be a strong predictor of attention to public affairs content in television. Watching special television events such as "the Kwanhoon Meeting with the Candidates" was also strongly associated with the variable in the female subgroup. These findings indicate that the habitual use of television as an entertainment medium could lead less politically motivated women to the exposure to public affairs content in television. The use of newspaper as a source of political information was found to be constrained by social structural variables such as education and household income. The constraint was more serious, as expected, among the female respondents. The subgroup comparisons of squared multiple correlations indicated that the power of those variables explaining various political communication variables was a lot stronger in the female group. On the basis of the results, it was concluded that television could play an important role in relieving the political alienation of women.
