  3. Sex Stereotypes 1. What are the consequences of sex stereotypes? (continued)

  4. By the end of today’s class, you should be able to: 1. describe contemporary measures of hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. 2. identify sex differences in and correlates of hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. 3. define the term “sex discrimination.”

  5. 4. generate examples to illustrate sex discrimination. 5. define the term “stereotype threat.” 6. explain how stereotype threat influences performance among females and males.

  6. What are the consequences of sex stereotypes?(continued) 1. Sexism (continued)

  7. Your Questionnaire: AMI(Glick and Fiske, 1999) • Score 1: Hostile sexism (toward men) score. • Score 2: Benevolent sexism (toward men) score.

  8. AMI: Descriptive Statistics(Glick and Fiske, 1999) • Cronbach’s alphas, HM, BM: .86, .83. • Correlations between HM and BM: .65 (males), .39 (females). • Correlations between ASI and AMI: .69 (males), .76 (females).

  9. Glick et al. (2004) administered the AMI to participants in 16 countries (e.g., Argentina, Australia, England, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, Syria, Taiwan, Turkey). Their research produced the following findings: (a) HM and BM were positively correlated with one another. (b) Females obtained higher scores on HM than males.

  10. (c) Males obtained higher scores on BM than females. (d) HS and BS scores among males were positively correlated with HM and BM scores among females. (e) National scores on HM and BM were negatively correlated with national scores on gender equality.

  11. Correlations Between AMI Averages and National Indices of Gender Equality(Glick et al., 2000) GDI=Gender-Related Development Index GEM=Gender Empowerment Measure*p<.05, **p<.01

  12. 2. Sex Discrimination • Refers to the differential treatment of individuals based on their sex. May be directed at females or males. • Examples: • 2004: Class-action law suit, Betty Dukes et al. vs. Walmart. • 2005: Class-action law suit, David Woods et al. vs. the State of California, WEAVE, and DVSAC.

  13. Sex discrimination can reinforce stereotypes by creating “self-fulfilling prophecies” (i.e., stereotype-consistent attitudes, behaviours, aptitudes, and interests among those who are the targets of discrimination). Example: The differential treatment of boys and girls with respect to their aptitude for and interest in reading.

  14. 3. Stereotype Threat • Refers to the tendency for members of stereotyped groups to act in ways that are consistent with social stereotypes. • Results from anxiety that one will confirm negative stereotypes associated with one’s group. This anxiety hinders performance, results in stereotype confirmation and, thus, reduces achievement.
