Disabling the Able: Stereotype Threat and Women's Work Performance
Abstract
Stereotype threat is the risk of confirming a negative stereotype about one’s group as being true of oneself. This laboratory simulation investigated the effect of stereotype threat on women’s performance of a managerial task and explored gender role identification as a moderator of the stereotype threat effect. Specifically, the effect of the stereotype that women are less competent than men in managerial and executive positions was examined. Male and female participants performed a managerial in-basket task in a stereotypically masculine or feminine sex role-typed condition. As hypothesized, women underperformed men in the masculine sex role-typed condition, but not in the feminine sex role-typed condition. These effects were moderated by masculine gender role identification, thus establishing a boundary condition for the stereotype threat effect.

“Furthermore, the threat of confirming a negative stereotype has been shown to lead to women's underperformance on negotiation tasks (Kray, Thompson, & Galinsky, 2001) as well as managerial and leadership tasks (Bergeron, Block, & Echtenkamp, 2006;Hoyt & Blascovich, 2010).”

In the citing paper
“For example, researchers have shown that only women who rated themselves low, as opposed to high, on traits stereotypically associated with the leader role (such as ambition, self reliance, independence, and assertiveness) demonstrated decreased performance in the face of stereotype threat (Bergeron, Block, & Echtenkamp, 2006).”

In the citing paper
“In another study, women showed deleterious threat effects by underperforming men on a managerial task when the predecessor was described as a man with stereotypically masculine traits, but they did not show these performance decrements when the previous manager was described as a woman with female characteristics (Bergeron, Block, & Echtenkamp, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
