When, why, and for whom is receiving help actually helpful? Differential effects of receiving empowering and nonempowering help based on recipient gender.
研究探讨了接受赋能帮助（提升长期能力）与非赋能帮助（仅提供短期方案）对能力感知的不同影响，发现受助者性别是关键调节因素，非赋能帮助对女性能力感知的负面影响更大，揭示了职场中女性面临的系统性劣势。
(i.e., offers only immediate, short-term solutions). Regarding for whom, we draw from theory and research on stereotype threat and benevolent sexism to explain why the help recipient's gender is a critical moderator of the link between receiving nonempowering help specifically and competence perceptions. We present a multistudy "full-cycle" approach to test our hypotheses and understand the consequences of receiving empowering versus nonempowering help in more depth. Combined, our results help shift the conversation as noted above, and identify important practical implications that speak to a larger discussion on systematic disadvantages for women at work.
