Perceived misalignment of professional prototypes reduces subordinates’ endorsement of sexist supervisors.
研究发现，当下属认为主管的职业原型与自己不一致时，会减少对性别歧视主管的认可，尤其是鼓励下属持有更平衡的职业原型能有效降低这种认可。
(PPPA)-the extent to which a subordinate perceives their supervisor to share their beliefs about what it means to be a member of their profession-with sexist supervisors. Specifically, encouraging subordinates' to hold less masculine, more "balanced" professional prototypes, in which they see stereotypically feminine attributes as equally important to the job as stereotypically masculine ones, reduces PPPA with sexist supervisors. Lowering PPPA, in turn, reduces supervisor endorsement, even after accounting for the effects of other established mechanisms of supervisor endorsement. This research sheds new light on the psychology of followership and offers a new way to curb gender bias from the bottom up. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
