Endorsing Obama in 2008 licensed some Americans to favor Whites over Blacks––an example of moral self-licensing (Effron, Cameron, & Monin, 2009). Could endorsing a female presidential candidate in 2020–21 similarly license Americans to favor men at the expense of women? Two high-powered, pre-registered experiments found no evidence for this possibility. We manipulated whether Democrat participants had an opportunity to endorse a female Democratic candidate if she ran against a male candidate (i.e., Trump in Study 1, N = 2143; an anti-Trump Republican or independent candidate in Study 2, N = 2228). Then, participants read about a stereotypically masculine job and indicated whether they thought a man should fill it. Contrary to predictions, we found that endorsing a female Democrat did not increase participants' tendency to favor men over women for the job. We discuss implications for the robustness and generalizability of moral self-licensing.

2008年认可奥巴马（Obama）许可证，使一些美国人比白人更喜欢白人-这是道德自我授权的一个例子（Effron，Cameron和Monin，2009）。是否可以在2020-21年度批准一位女性总统候选人，以同样的方式允许美国人以牺牲女性为代价来青睐男性？两项功能强大且预先注册的实验没有发现这种可能性的证据。我们操纵了民主党参与者是否有机会认可女性民主党候选人，如果她与男性候选人竞争（即，研究1中的特朗普，N  = 2143；研究2中的反特朗普共和党或独立候选人，N = 2228）。然后，参与者阅读了有关刻板印象的男性化工作，并指出他们是否认为应该由男性担任。与预测相反，我们发现认可女性民主党人并不会增加参与者在工作中偏爱男性而不是女性的趋势。我们讨论了道德自我许可的鲁棒性和可推广性的含义。
