‘If they can lead, I can too’
Our research examines which factors enable women to relate to and aspire for stereotype-inconsistent roles, like leadership. Across two studies, we tested the effects of supervisor gender and supervisor characteristics on women's social comparisons and their leadership aspiration. Our first survey study ( N = 303) found that women had higher social comparisons with communal supervisors irrespective of supervisor gender. Our second experiment ( N …
Speaking Up and Standing Out
A widely held assumption is that women self‐advocate less than men. Our study challenges this view. Drawing on interviews with 71 men and women in a multinational company's leadership development pipeline and 10 HRM managers, we examine how women navigate self‐advocacy within gendered organizational logics. We theorize self‐advocacy as a site of additive labor necessitated by the friction between masculine‐coded ideal professional logics and idea…
Disgust sensitivity relates to affective responses to – but not ability to detect – olfactory cues to pathogens
Hundreds of studies have assessed variation in the degree to which people experience disgust toward substances associated with pathogens, but little is known about the mechanistic sources of this variation. The current investigation uses olfactory perception and threshold methods to test whether it is apparent at the cue-detection level, at the cue-interpretation level, or both. It further tests whether relations between disgust sensitivity and o…
Examining the effect of hunger on responses to pathogen cues and novel foods
Although multiple leading papers in the behavioral immune system literature have proposed that food deprivation affects responses to pathogen cues, evidence supporting this proposition is scarce. Here, we report results from what we believe to be the most comprehensive test of the effects of hunger on responses to pathogen cues to date. Participants (N = 40) recruited from a Dutch university attended two experimental sessions, each following a 15…
