根据社会角色理论，人们认为，对职业母亲的刻板印象会导致人们对她们对工作和家庭的态度产生偏见，这将部分解释“母亲墙”。从166名有孩子的初级教师和93名高级同事的样本调查结果表明，父母性别影响上级对初级教师的工作参与度，承诺和灵活性的评价。此外，在解释了这些态度的自我报告后，资深同事的评分部分解释了父母性别和晋升之间的关系。因此，这项研究提供了证据的母亲偏见，通过展示性别差异的看法，影响成功的工作-家庭的态度。
Drawing from social role theory, it is theorized that stereotypes about working mothers will drive biased perceptions about their attitudes toward work and family that will partially account for the 'maternal wall'. Survey responses from a sample of 166 junior faculty members with children and 93 of their senior colleagues suggested that parent gender influences superiors' ratings of junior faculty's work involvement, commitment, and flexibility. Moreover, after accounting for self-reports of these attitudes, senior colleagues' ratings partially explained the relationship between parent gender and advancement. Thus, this research provides evidence of maternal bias by demonstrating gender differences in perceptions of work-family attitudes that influence success.
