“…We assessed stereotype activation with a modified version of the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ; Spence et al, 1974). We identified four traits stereotypically associated with black individuals as a whole: “loud,” “aggressive,” “hostile,” “violent” (Smith, 1991; Wheeler & Fiske, 2005). To measure stereotype activation, participants rated the extent to which black women exhibit these four traits (α = .89).…”

Across two studies (n = 555), we examine the detrimental effects of the "angry black woman" stereotype in the workplace. Drawing on parallel-constraint-satisfaction theory, we argue that observers will be particularly sensitive to expressions of anger by black women due to widely held stereotypes. In Study 1, we examine a three-way interaction among anger, race, and gender, and find that observers are more likely to make internal attributions for expressions of anger when an individual is a black woman, which then leads to worse performance evaluations and assessments of leadership capability. In Study 2, we focus solely on women and expand our initial model by examining stereotype activation as a mechanism linking the effects of anger and race on internal attributions. We replicated findings from Study 1 and found support for stereotype activation as an underlying mechanism. We believe our work contributes to research on race, gender, and leadership, and highlights an overlooked stereotype in the management literature. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
