“…For example, among men who rigidly adhere to masculine norms, sex is likely a salient category that dictates a divergent female gender role that, in turn, influences the content of appraisals (Harper & Schoeman, 2003). Through this lens, all female opponents can be seen as members of an out-group.…”

Past research linking gender conformity and physical aggression has largely focused on men as both perpetrators and victims. Furthermore, extant literature emphasizes the role of individual differences in theorizing and assigning meaning to aggressive interactions. The current study aims to build on the sparse literature on victimization of nonconforming women while rooting this vein of inquiry more firmly in dynamic sociocognitive models of interactive behavior. In the current study, 60 collegiate men participated in a sham aggression paradigm against a female confederate whose appearance was manipulated to exhibit either “masculine” or “feminine” characteristics. Aggression was measured in terms of frequency, intensity, and duration of electric shocks ostensibly administered by the participant to his fictional opponent. Results indicated that low masculine conforming men evinced higher levels of aggression against the feminine opponent than they did toward a masculine opponent. Findings are discussed in terms of the unique influence of the female gender role as it relates to variability in men's conformity to masculinity and risk of aggressive responding. The purported protective effects of positive masculinity are also discussed.

“…Harper & Schoeman (2003) [15] studied gender as a social perception category and its effects on the whole notion of gender stereotyping. They asked all the participants in the study to use gender to organize their personal schemas.…”

“…Harper & Schoeman's (2003) [8] findings were consistent with the transcendent and multifactorial gender identity theories. The discriminatory gender views were an anticipation of gender stereotyping (Harper & Schoeman, 2003) [15]. In their study, Harper & Schoeman (2003) [15] identified that when individuals access their already existing gender schemas whenever they encounter people, they do not know and categorize them based on their schema.…”

This paper will discuss attributions, stereotyping, the relationship between them, and the challenges it creates for women seeking leadership positions in health care. Our paper presents different theories and models of stereotyping and some new controversies on gender stereotyping. It also introduces some strategies for managers to use when working with young women interested in pursuing leadership roles in the healthcare field. Gender and gender stereotyping discussed in this paper points out the root of gender inequality in society and organizations.

“…It may be particularly threatening to disclose in an important relationship, due to the increased cost of rejection. On the other hand, persons are more likely to apply stereotypes when they lack individual information about a person (Harper & Schoeman 2003). Thus, disclosure targets may be more likely to apply stereotypes to persons disclosing early in a relationship.…”

“…Gender categorizations are one of the most salient in person perception and appear particularly relevant to self constructions from an early age (Harper & Schoeman 2003;Karniol et al 2000;Maccoby 1988). Boys evaluate other boys exhibiting counterstereotypic behaviors more harshly than girls evaluate counterstereotypic girls (Karniol et al 2000).…”

We used an analogue experimental method to assess how undergraduate students from two universities in the southwestern United States (n=241) would perceive same gender peers disclosing a history of sexual abuse in childhood (CSA), in comparison to those disclosing a death of their mother or of a pet. Consistent with hypotheses, males perceived a peer disclosing CSA less positively than peers disclosing the other two histories. Women's perceptions were less globally negative, with anticipations that peers disclosing CSA would have poorer health and interpersonal adjustment, but strengths in coping and likeability. We also examined participants' expectations of how a peer would evaluate their own self description, finding gender differences and differences based upon personal history of CSA.
