Social media use and appearance pressure among midlife women
Not the Solution We Proposed
This special issue examines the phenomenon of the tradwife—a “retro feminine” figure who performs extreme domesticity on social media. The rise of the tradwife is familiar, yet also reflective of the current technopolitical moment. To introduce this special issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly, we first explore a set of cultural forces that we believe have paved the way for the tradwife's recent ascendence. We contend that tradwives used social…

Does education about historical racism land differently when accompanied by evidence of modern racial disparities? In Study 1, students from a United States (U.S.) university and an online survey platform were randomly assigned to hear a podcast about historical racist practices in higher education (e.g., states’ efforts to avoid integrating universities), modern racial disparities (e.g., Black student representation at flagship public universiti…
Downward-punching disparagement humor harms interpersonal impressions and trust
Disparagement humor may harm perceptions of joke-tellers’ core traits and trustworthiness differently when it “punches down” rather than “up” at its target. This was experimentally tested with a sexist joke in Study 1 ( n = 161) and a boss/employee joke in Study 2 ( n = 331). Consistently, joke-tellers who punched down seemed less competent, lower in status, and less trustworthy (assessed via a hypothetical monetary trust game). Jokes that punche…
Men's Hostile Sexism Predicts Skepticism of Sexual Assault Science
Sexual assault statistics are both widely disseminated and routinely challenged. Two studies investigated reactions to sexual assault research through the lens of ideologically motivated science denial. In particular, hostile sexism was expected to positively predict skepticism of sexual assault research. In Study 1, adult men in the United States ( N = 316) reported their hostile sexism, then read one of three research summaries and reported the…
Is it sexy to be sexist? How stereotyped humor affects romantic attraction
Sexist humor is a common form of disparagement humor that is nonetheless understudied in romantic attraction contexts. Three experiments investigated how sexist humor is perceived and received during relationship initiation. In Study 1 ( n = 262) participants rated self‐directed sexist humor as more affiliative (only women), less aggressive, and more self‐defeating than other‐directed sexist humor. Study 2 ( n = 209) replicated these findings and…
The effects of an academic environment intervention on science identification among women in STEM
Perceiving race relevance in everyday events
Perceptions of the relevance of race in everyday situations may matter for intergroup relations. Extending previous research, this work examines Blacks’ and Whites’ perceptions of race relevance in positive versus negative everyday situations affecting Black or White individuals. It also examines whether Black and White participants expect more intergroup disagreement regarding those perceptions than actually exists (i.e., interracial pluralistic…
My Fair Physicist? Feminine Math and Science Role Models Demotivate Young Girls
Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are labeled unfeminine, a costly social label that may discourage female students from pursuing these fields. Challenges to this stereotype include feminine STEM role models, but their counterstereotypic-yet-feminine success may actually be demotivating, particularly to young girls. Study 1 showed that feminine STEM role models reduced middle school girls’ current math interest, se…
