Development of a model to predict sexist behaviors considering personal and situational variables
Final Report Abstract
The project has been very successful. Although we consistently did not find evidence for double dissociation in terms of sexist behavior (four failed replications of the double dissociation test in a row), we focused on additional research questions and gained much knowledge in terms of confronting and reducing sexist behavior, situational moderators of sexist behavior, and developed implicit association tests and a scale to assess benevolent and hostile sexist behavior. Moreover, this research on sexist behavior gained much media coverage via TV and newspapers in prominent outlets (ZDFneo/Spiegel, Die Zeit) and has important implications for practitioners, politics and social change.
