Voivatko miehet kilpailla tasa-arvoisesti perinteisistä naisten töistä?

To summarize the selection decision results, profemale bias existed for selection decisions made in traditionally female jobs. The profemale bias existed for both male and female raters, and for both top-level and mid-level jobs.

When gender was known, for the Dean's position, 16% of the reasons given by those who selected the female indicated that they did so specifically because of her gender. In the condition where subordinates' genders were known, 44% of the reasons given by those selecting the female indicated that they selected the female for the Dean's job because a female is more suited to supervise females. Statements made by respondents included "a female is better suited to supervise females," "a female might respond to employees better," and "supervising more females." When subordinates' genders were known, 40% of the reasons given by those selecting the female indicated that being female was their reason for selecting a female for the Coordinator's job. These comments provide additional support for our contention that raters were, in fact, selecting individuals for the job based on gender rather than qualifications, particularly where predominantly women would be supervised.
