Study of 35,000 adults finds people care significantly less about men than women in the workplace and education
Article here. Excerpt:
'The Cappelen et al. study included 35,000 adults in the US, and found they tended to favour women over men. The study found a tendency for people to be more accepting of males falling behind in work performance, more likely to see it as men’s own fault, and less willing to let them be helped. In most of the research questions this bias was larger from women than men, and for some research questions the bias was smaller when coming from younger participants and from Republican Party voters.
My article will briefly describe and evaluate this study, and place the study’s findings in context of relevant literature on gamma bias, intergroup biases, the gender empathy gap and related phenomena which explain gender biases.'
