一项纵向研究探讨了与成功的内团体成员接触与女性对自己的领导能力、职业目标和课堂自信行为的刻板印象之间的关系。在他们进入大学和大二结束时，我们测量了（1）参与者与成功的内部成员（女教授）接触的数量和质量，（2）内隐和外显的领导自我概念，（3）职业目标，（4）课堂行为。与内团体成员的频繁接触预示着更强的领导力和更多的职业抱负的内隐自我概念，但只有当接触的经验是高质量的，而不是肤浅的。质量和数量的接触独立预测的自信行为。研究结果表明，改变内隐自我信念需要高质量和频繁接触反刻板印象的个人。
A longitudinal study examined the relationship between contact with successful ingroup members and women's stereotypes about their own leadership abilities, career goals, and assertive behavior in class. Upon entry into college and toward the end of their sophomore year we measured (1) participants' quantity and quality of contact with successful ingroup members (female professors), (2) implicit and explicit leadership self-concept, (3) career goals, and (4) classroom behavior. Frequent contact with ingroup members predicted stronger implicit self-conceptions of leadership and more career ambitions, but only when contact experiences were of high quality rather than superficial. Quality and quantity of contact independently predicted assertive behavior. The findings suggest that changing implicit self-beliefs requires both high quality and frequent exposure to counterstereotypic individuals.
