全球COVID-19大流行的爆发阻止了性别平等的进展,反而加剧了从性别分工到经济稳定等各个领域现有的性别不平等。在本文中,我们记录了COVID-19大流行中出现的一些最明显的性别不平等现象,并讨论了社会心理学理论和研究如何帮助解释这些不平等现象的根源,包括性别刻板印象和角色,对威胁的反应,不稳定的男性气质,对风险的看法和反冲。在这样做的时候,我们使用性别的广泛定义,并考虑身份的相关交叉点。最后,我们提出了推进性别不平等研究的三个关键考虑因素。也就是说,社会心理学家需要(a)挑战性别的二元概念化,(B)扩大对性别不平等的研究重点,(c)采用交叉透镜来解决COVID-19后的系统性不平等。
The onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to progress toward gender equality and, instead, exacerbated existing gender inequalities across domains-from gendered divisions of labour to economic stability. In this paper we document some of the most glaring gender inequalities that have arisen in the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss how social psychological theories and research-including work on gender stereotypes and roles, responses to threat, precarious masculinity, perceptions of risk, and backlash-can help to explain the roots of these inequalities. In doing so, we use a broad definition of gender and consider relevant intersections of identity. Finally, we present three key considerations for research on gender inequalities moving forward. Namely, the need for social psychologists to (a) challenge binary conceptualizations of gender, (b) broaden the focus of research on gender inequalities, and (c) adopt an intersectional lens to address systemic inequalities in the wake of COVID-19.
