A Nother Ceiling? Can Males Compete for Traditionally Female Jobs?
研究让被试评估传统女性职业中高层管理职位的男女求职者,发现超过四分之一的被试选择了资历较差的女性而非更优秀的男性,表明男性在女性主导职业中可能面临类似女性在男性主导职业中的歧视。
Subjects ranked hypothetical male and female job applicants for top- and mid-level management positions in a traditionally female job. Consistent with a “lack of fit” explanation, over one-fourth of the raters selected a less-qualified female over a more qualified male for both the top-level and mid-level jobs. Additionally, those subjects with management experience tended to make decisions favoring the less-qualified female more often than those without management experience. Results suggested that males may suffer from discrimination in traditionally female jobs similar to that faced by females in traditionally male jobs.
