Three studies examine how women’s benevolent sexism (BS) shapes support for other women’s agentic responses to gender-based threat. In Study 1, women read vignettes about a woman who agentically responded (vs. no response) to gender-based threat (e.g., sexism). As hypothesized, BS predicted more positive attitudes towards the woman who chose not to challenge sexism and more negative attitudes towards the woman who did. Studies 2 and 3 focused on whether these effects are driven by the behaviour displayed by the target (response or not) or by the ideology it seeks to uphold (traditional or non-traditional). There may be circumstances under which BS is associated with positive attitudes towards women’s agentic (i.e., non-gender role conforming) behaviour, for instance, when it is used to support traditional gender roles. Studies 2 and 3 showed that when women’s agentic behaviour is used to uphold traditional gender roles (vs. challenge them), BS is positively associated with support for such behaviour. These findings underscore the importance of ideology underlying women’s agentic behaviour: BS can support women’s agentic responses that violate prescribed gender roles, so long as they reinforce the status quo.

女性善意的性别歧视何时与支持其他女性对基于性别的威胁的代理反应相关联?

三项研究调查了女性仁慈的性别歧视 (BS) 如何塑造对其他女性对基于性别的威胁的代理反应的支持。在研究 1 中,女性阅读有关女性对基于性别的威胁(例如性别歧视)做出主动回应(与无回应)的小插曲。正如假设的那样,BS 预测对选择挑战性别歧视的女性的更积极态度,以及对挑战性别歧视的女性的更消极态度。研究 2 和 3 侧重于这些影响是由目标表现出的行为(响应与否)或它寻求维护的意识形态(传统或非传统)驱动的。在某些情况下,BS 与积极的对女性代理(即非性别角色顺应)行为的态度,例如,当它被用来支持传统的性别角色时。研究 2 和 3 表明,当女性的代理行为被用来维护传统的性别角色(而不是挑战它们)时,BS 与对此类行为的支持呈正相关。这些发现强调了女性代理行为背后意识形态的重要性:BS 可以支持女性违反规定的性别角色的代理反应,只要它们能强化现状。
