Gender Stereotyping of the Managerial Role among Students in Canada and the United States
研究加拿大和美国大学生对管理角色的性别刻板印象,发现男性学生将管理职位视为男性化,而女性学生则不然,且母亲背景对此无显著影响。
Previous studies cite sex role stereotyping as a potential cause of discrimination and a barrier to women's movement into managerial ranks. This study explores the impact of mother's education and employment history on the pattern of sex role stereotyping by both male and female college and university students in Canada and the United States. No significant differences are found between national samples. Regardless of mother's background, male college students characterize the managerial job in distinctly masculine terms whereas female students do not.
