Abstract:
Across four studies (N = 816 U.S. adults), we uncovered a gender stereotype about dual pathways to social hierarchy: Men were associated with power, and women were associated with status. We detected this pattern both explicitly and implicitly in perceptions of individuals drawn from Forbes magazine\'s powerful people lists in undergraduate and online samples. We examined social-cognitive implications, including prominent people\'s degree of recognition by individuals and society, and the formation of men\'s and women\'s self-concepts. We found that power (status) ratings predicted greater recognition of men (women) and lesser recognition of women (men). In terms of the self-concept, we found that women internalized the stereotype associating women with status more than power implicitly and explicitly. Although men explicitly reported having less status and more power than women, men implicitly associated the self with status as much as power. No gender differences emerged in the desires for power and status.
摘要:
在四项研究中(N=816美国成年人),我们发现了一种关于社会等级制度双重途径的性别刻板印象:男人与权力有关,女性与地位有关。我们从《福布斯》杂志的本科生和在线样本中的有权势人物列表中对个人的看法中,明确地和隐含地检测到了这种模式。我们研究了社会认知的含义,包括个人和社会对杰出人士的认可程度,以及男女自我概念的形成。我们发现,权力(地位)等级预测男性(女性)的认可度更高,女性(男性)的认可度更低。就自我概念而言,我们发现,女性内化了将女性与地位联系起来的刻板印象,而不是隐性和显性的权力。尽管男性明确报告说比女性拥有更低的地位和更多的权力,男人隐含地将自我与地位联系在一起,就像权力一样。在对权力和地位的渴望中没有出现性别差异。
