Gender biases have been documented in many areas including hiring, promotion, or performance evaluations. Many of these decisions are made by committees. We experimentally investigate whether committee deliberation contributes to gender biases. In our experiments, participants perform a real effort task and then rate the task performance of other participants. Across treatments we vary the extent of deliberation possible. We find that deliberation increases gender biases. We explore several mechanisms and test two interventions. Randomizing the order of speaking does not reduce gender bias, but an information intervention where raters are informed of gender bias in prior sessions does.

意见汇总中的性别偏见

性别偏见已被记录在许多领域，包括招聘、晋升或绩效评估。其中许多决定是由委员会做出的。我们通过实验调查委员会审议是否会导致性别偏见。在我们的实验中，参与者执行一项真正的努力任务，然后评估其他参与者的任务表现。在不同的治疗方法中，我们可能会改变审议的程度。我们发现深思熟虑会增加性别偏见。我们探索了几种机制并测试了两种干预措施。随机化说话的顺序并不能减少性别偏见，但在之前的会议中告知评分者性别偏见的信息干预可以。
