Moving Beyond Gender to Discover Differences in Sensitivity to Disempowering Acts
研究观察剥夺权力行为时感知冒犯程度的差异，发现性别是重要因素，但同一种族内社会情境（多数/少数地位）的影响更大，且男性在特定情境下感知更强。
The purpose of this study is to examine levels of perceived offensiveness based on observations of disempowering acts and to identify any differences in perceptions based on gender, ethnicity, and a social context in which respondents held majority versus minority status. Gender emerged as a strong determinant of differences in levels of perceived offensiveness, with women reporting higher levels of perceived offensiveness when viewing disempowering acts than did men. However, when comparing groups of the same ethnicity (i.e., African American) on differences in perceived offensiveness based on social context, social context had a significant effect on perceptions, and men, not women, reported higher levels of perceived offensiveness.
