Another ceiling? can males compete for traditionally female jobs?
研究发现在传统女性职业中,超过四分之一的评分者会优先选择资历较浅的女性而非更合格的男性,表明男性也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.
