But what did they do on leave? Differing evaluations of men and women's completion of work tasks on parental leave
实验研究发现,育儿假期间不工作会损害男性(而非女性)的评价和推荐,而工作则有利于女性(而非男性)的评价和推荐,这背后是性别规范在起作用。
Abstract As parental leave policies increasingly encourage new fathers to take paternal leave, the present experimental study explores evaluations of male and female workers who do (or do not) complete work‐related tasks during leave. In line with our preregistered hypotheses, not completing work‐related tasks during leave resulted in costs for men's (but not women's) evaluations and recommendations, whereas working during leave benefited women's (but not men's) evaluations and recommendations. Parallel evaluations of workers' agency suggest prescriptive gender norms underlie these different responses to men's and women's behaviour.
