随着偏见在其表现形式上变得更加微妙。被污名化的群体的成员必须经常与不知道其他人是否对他们有偏见的模棱两可作斗争。在这项研究中，我们测试了明确传达的性别偏见是否会促进女性在困难任务中的表现，而不是在可能存在这种歧视但没有明确传达的情况下。研究结果显示，当男性面试官的性别态度是模棱两可的，而不是他的态度是明确的沙文主义或明确的平等主义时，长期关注性别歧视的女性的任务表现会受到影响。正如预期的那样，低歧视担忧的女性的表现不会受到实验操纵的影响。这些发现是根据越来越多的证据来讨论的，这些证据表明，偏见对污名目标具有讽刺意义。(C)2008 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
As prejudice becomes more subtle in its manifestations. members of stigmatized groups must often contend with the ambiguity of not knowing whether others are biased against them. In this study, we tested whether explicitly Communicated gender prejudice would facilitate women's performance on a difficult task compared to contexts where such discrimination might be possible but is not explicitly communicated. The findings revealed that the task performance of women who are chronically concerned about gender discrimination suffered when a male interviewer's gender attitudes were ambiguous relative, to when his attitudes were either explicitly chauvinistic or explicitly egalitarian. As expected, the performance of women low in discrimination concerns was not affected by the experimental manipulation. The findings are discussed in light of growing evidence for the ironic effects of prejudice for the targets of Stigma. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
