两项研究调查了匹配的性别在多大程度上决定了职业榜样对自我的影响。由于妇女在工作场所的能力方面面临着负面的定型观念,她们可能会从一位杰出妇女的榜样中受益,因为她说明了克服性别障碍取得成功的可能性。相比之下,男性可能对同性榜样没有同样的需求。研究1评估了性别匹配和不匹配的职业榜样对女性和男性参与者自我认知的影响。在研究2中,女性和男性参与者被要求描述一个在过去激励他们的职业榜样。在这两项研究中,结果表明,女性参与者更受女性比男性榜样的启发;相比之下,性别并没有决定榜样对男性参与者的影响。
TWO Studies examined the extent to which matching oil gender determines the impact of career role models oil the self. Because women face negative stereotypes regarding their competence in the workplace, they may derive particular benefit from the example of an outstanding woman who illustrates the possibility of overcoming gender barriers to achieve success. In contrast, men may not have the same need for same-gender role models. Study 1 assessed the impact of gender-matched and mismatched career role models oil the self-perceptions of female and male participants. In Study 2, female and male participants were asked to describe a career role model who had inspired them ill the past. In both studies, results indicated that female participants were more inspired by outstanding female than male role models; in contrast, gender did not determine the impact of role models oil male participants.
