The aim of this project is to contribute to a better understanding of mechanisms leading to an underrepresentation of women in innovation and to evaluate the effectiveness of affirmative action interventions aiming at reducing this underrepresentation. Previous research explaining gender differences in career success has mainly focused on gender differences in behavior or on discrimination. In this project, we want to bring these two strings of research together by studying whether gender differences in behavior induce gender discrimination. Specifically, the project studies gender differences in the promotion of own creative ideas and links these to gender discrimination in support received in the innovation process. To do so, we are going to conduct a set of real-effort experiments where both female and male participants have to work on a creative task and are incentivized to promote the resulting creative idea to a third party. We are going to evaluate whether there are gender differences in the promotion of creative ideas and whether these differences lead to gender discrimination in support received. Further, we want to analyze the effect of different means of affirmative action on both the promotion of creative ideas and the allocation of support. The insights from the proposed projects will provide an important contribution to the research on diversity and innovation.

该项目的目的是帮助更好地了解导致妇女在创新领域代表性不足的机制，并评估旨在减少这种代表性不足的平权行动干预措施的有效性。以前解释职业成功性别差异的研究主要集中在行为或歧视的性别差异上。在这个项目中，我们希望通过研究行为中的性别差异是否会导致性别歧视，将这两个研究结合起来。具体而言，该项目研究在促进自己的创造性想法方面的性别差异，并将这些差异与在创新过程中获得支持方面的性别歧视联系起来。为了做到这一点，我们将进行一系列真实努力的实验，女性和男性参与者都必须从事创造性的任务，并激励他们向第三方推广由此产生的创造性想法。我们将评估在促进创造性想法方面是否存在性别差异，以及这些差异是否导致获得支持方面的性别歧视。此外，我们还想分析不同的平权行动手段对促进创造性想法和分配支助的影响。拟议项目的见解将为多样性和创新研究做出重要贡献。
