ALL CHARACTERS
**Begin counting when the text begins. “Character” is anything actively interacting with surroundings, and/or would change the story significantly if they were omitted; not just referred to, seen, or nonactively involved. A character MUST appear in text (and probably mentioned singularly, not as part of a group) if there is text and will probably
appear in pictures. If not in pictures, they must be prominent in text. Count ONLY if sex

is completely clear from text or picture. For repetitious, undifferentiated characters, count the most that occur in any scene up to 7. If character has ANY explicit sex indicator, that‘s the sex. (he, male name...) Let researcher make the call if it is unclear whether”you guys” type references are male indicators. “Adults” and ‘children” refer to adult and children humans, animals, AND objects.**

125 PICTURES
**Count ALL pictures, not just those of characters. For the below items, for nameless crowds or groups of 7 or more, treat the group as one picture and whichever sex dominates the group is the sex of the picture (so 6 people count as 6 and 7 in a crowd count as 1). If the sexes are balanced or you can‘t tell the sex, it is a neuter image, and don‘t count it. For indistinguishable characters in one scene, count a maximum of 7 (so 7 are 7 and 50 are 7) (see Eloise‘s Guide to Life for example). For parts of people/animals, count as whole image if the reader would know the sex of the image from context. Seven or more similar characters in one scene is counted as one picture, they don‘t necessarily have to be grouped together. See I Love You Like Crazy Cakes—babies=1, nannies=3. If sex is CLEARLY understood, count it** Only count as sexed AFTER we learn the sex. **see Dougherty and Engel, p. 395, and Engle, p. 648 for method on counting images. **
19. Count of female pictures: _____________________________
20. Count of male pictures: _______________________________
MAIN CHARACTERS
**Must be main character for entire book, not just for a story within a book. If there is one clear main character, do not code a second main character. Following Turner- Bowker 1996, when it’s difficult to determine who’s the main character, we count the number of scenes each appears in, and the one with the most appearances is main character #1, and MC #2 is the one with the 2nd most appearances. Also, there may not be any main characters or no 2nd character. If is the case, write in “none” in identifier spot. If equal # of pages or within 3, both identified as central (Turner-Bowker). In that case select #1 and #2 randomly (flip coin).**
