Wage Disparities and Performance Expectations

The Impact of Physical Attractiveness on Women's Social Status and Interactional Power

“…That is, the treatment they receive is biased and based on fleeting characteristics, yet the rewards, notably economic, are real. Being highly rewarded then generates feelings of legitimacy, which accumulate, and it has been shown empirically that obtaining high rewards is a proxy for competence (Stewart and Moore, 1992). To diminish the effects of beauty through intervention would require constantly linking competence with demonstrable performance or specific abilities that are independent of looks.…”

The Standardized Experimental Situation in Expectation States Research

“…Of particular interest are studies on what has been defined as the "reverse effect" in the status value theory of distributive justice . This is a theoretical argument that under appropriate conditions the allocation of rewards, in and of itself, creates task expectations (see Cook, 1975;Harrod, 1980;Stewart & Moore, 1992).…”

“…Mueller, Mulinge, and Glass (2002) found that "women are more disadvantaged relative to men when they collaboratively work together face-to-face than when they work toward the same goal but do so independently of each other" (2002:176).
