女性在传统男性职业中的代表性仍然不足。我们认为，这可能部分是由于妇女认为她们不适合这些职业中的主导身份，从而导致职业认同感丧失和“选择退出”的倾向。我们在两个实习外科医生样本中测试了这一论点。研究1（N = 129名女学员）表明，妇女认为缺乏与男性外科医生原型的配合，正如预期的那样，这种看法与职业认同的减少和选择退出的愿望增加。研究2（N = 216男性和女性学员）表明，妇女的感知缺乏适合的外科医生原型是大于男性的，这占妇女的相对disidentification。
Women continue to be underrepresented in traditionally masculine occupations. We argue that this may be explained in part by women's perceptions that they do not fit in with the dominant identities in these occupations, contributing to occupational disidentification and an inclination to "opt out.'' We tested this argument in two samples of trainee surgeons. Study 1 (N = 129 female trainees) showed that women perceived a lack of fit with the masculine surgeon prototype and that, as expected, this perception was associated with a reduction in occupational identification and an increased desire to opt out. Study 2 (N = 216 male and female trainees) showed that women's perceived lack of fit with the surgeon prototype was greater than men's, and that this accounted for women's relative disidentification.
