What should I wear to work? An integrative review of the impact of clothing in the workplace.
整合多学科证据，识别出职场着装的三个普遍特征（正式性、挑逗性、时尚性）及两类特殊类别（制服、宗教服饰），基于归因理论和刻板印象内容模型，解释着装如何通过影响观察者对穿着者温暖感和能力的感知，进而影响支持或偏见行为。
Perceptions of clothing are complex, varying across individuals, situations, cultures, and time. Although there is very little research on the topic in our field, evidence from a wide variety of other disciplines points to the importance of clothing in the workplace. In this article, we review this evidence and identify three universal and distinctive clothing characteristics at work: formality, provocativeness, and fashionability. We also identify two other categories: uniforms and religiosity of clothing, which are tied to particular social groups. Drawing on attribution theory and the stereotype content model, we provide a cohesive conceptual framework in which clothing characteristics influence observers' perceptions of wearer's warmth and competence through observers' dispositional attribution processes. These perceptions, in turn, influence facilitation behaviors, such as providing support to wearers, and harm behaviors, such as negatively biased performance appraisal. We conclude by offering suggestions for future research and implications for employees and employers with regard to managing clothing choices and avoiding potential biases.
