五项预先登记的研究（N = 1934）表明，与其他一些文化意识形态相比，美国流行的“追随你的激情”的意识形态使学术和职业性别差异永久化。研究1表明，追随你的激情意识形态是美国学生在做出学术选择时普遍使用的。研究2-5发现，与资源意识形态（即，一个人应该追求一个能带来高收入和工作保障的领域的想法）。在研究4中，追随你的激情意识形态导致了更大的性别差异，即使与更符合女性性别角色的文化意识形态相比（即，意识形态）。在研究5中，一个温和的中介分析支持的假设，即性别差异的解释是女性与男性的更大的倾向，以借鉴女性角色一致的自我时，跟随你的激情意识形态是显着的相比，当资源的意识形态是显着的。利用女性角色一致的自我仍然是一个重要的中介，即使在考虑替代中介（例如，意识形态对一个人的性别的适当性）。追随你的激情的意识形态似乎没有明确的性别，但与其他一些文化意识形态相比，它导致了更大的学术和职业性别差异。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023阿帕，保留所有权利）。
Five preregistered studies (N = 1934) demonstrate that the prevalent U.S. ideology to "follow your passions" perpetuates academic and occupational gender disparities compared to some other cultural ideologies. Study 1 shows that the follow-your-passions ideology is commonly used by U.S. students in making academic choices. Studies 2-5 find that making the follow-your-passions ideology salient causes greater academic and occupational gender disparities compared to the resources ideology (i.e., the idea that one should pursue a field that leads to high income and job security). In Study 4, the follow-your-passions ideology causes greater gender disparities even when compared to a cultural ideology that aligns more with the female gender role (i.e., communal ideology). In Study 5, a moderated mediation analysis supports the hypothesis that gender disparities are explained by women's versus men's greater tendency to draw upon female role-congruent selves when the follow-your-passions ideology is salient compared to when the resources ideology is salient. Drawing upon female role-congruent selves remains a significant mediator even when accounting for alternative mediators (e.g., appropriateness of ideology for one's gender). The follow-your-passions ideology may not seem explicitly gendered, but it causes greater academic and occupational gender disparities compared to some other cultural ideologies.
