The detrimental effects of a suggestion of sexism in an instruction situation

Article Abstract:

The extent to which the mere suggestion of sexism can harm women's experience in an instruction situation was examined. It was observed that women exposed to such a suggestion responded negatively in many areas but that men did not react similarly even when they were potential targets of the alleged sexism and the importance of the concept of social identity in interpreting these results was emphasized.

Situational disengagement and persistence in the face of adversity

Article Abstract:

The devaluation in the school setting experienced by African American students due to negative stereotyping results in them adapting through a process of task disengagement leading to a full disidentification with academia that psychologically insulates them from feedback. An attempt is made to examine students who continue to remain motivated and identified in such a situation.

Infra-humanization: Ambivalent sexism and the attribution of primary and secondary emotions to women

Article Abstract:

Males and females that differentially attribute primary and secondary emotions to women were examined. It was hypothesized that individual differences in hostile sexism (HS) and benevolent sexism (BS), rather than participant sex, would predict the attribution of emotions to women.
