(2017): Of Tooth and Claw. Predator Self-Identifications Mediate Gender Differences in Interpersonal Arrogance. In: Sex Roles 77 (3-4), S. 272-286. DOI: 10.1007/s11199-016-0706-y
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-016-0706-y Abstract: Men often score higher than women do on traits or tendencies marked by hostile dominance. The purpose of the present research was to contribute to an understanding of these gender differences. Four studies (total N = 494 U.S. undergraduates) administered a modified animal preference test in which participants could choose to be predator or prey animals, but not labeled as such. Men were consistently more interested in being predator animals than women were, displaying a sort of hostile dominance in their projective preferences. Predator self-identifications, in turn, mediated gender differences in outcomes related to hostile dominance. Studies 1 and 2 provided initial evidence for this model in the context of variations in interpersonal arrogance, and Studies 3 and 4 extended the model to nonverbal displays and daily life prosociality, respectively. The findings indicate that gender differences in hostile dominance are paralleled by gender differences in preferring to thi nk about the self in predator-like terms. Accordingly, the findings provide new insights into aggressive forms of masculine behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved) zitiert von 2

(2015): The social nature of benevolent sexism and the antisocial nature of hostile sexism. Is benevolent sexism more likely to manifest in public contexts and hostile sexism in private contexts?. In: International journal of psychology : Journal international de psychologie 50 (5), S. 363-371. DOI: 10.1002/ijop.12106
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/ijop.12106 Abstract: Previous research converges on demonstrating that benevolent sexism (BS) is socially approved, whereas hostile sexism (HS) is socially disapproved. We postulated that a sample of married women would be likely to report that their husbands express hostile sexist attitudes and engage in related actions towards them more in private than public contexts, where they lie concealed from public censure. By contrast, the women would report that their husbands would be likely to express benevolent sexist attitudes and engage in related actions more in public than private contexts, where they are reinforced not only by their target (i.e. wife), but also by significant others and the society at large. We tested these hypotheses with a sample of Black, heterosexually married Zimbabwean women (n = 109, mean age = 31.83). Results supported our hypotheses: the women reported hostile sexist attitudes and actions to be more likely to occur in private than public contexts; on the other hand, they reported benevolent sexist attitudes and actions to be more likely in public than private contexts. We conclude that differences in social approval of BS and HS account for these results.

(2015): Nonverbal and Verbal Expressions of Men’s Sexism in Mixed-Gender Interactions. In: Sex Roles 72 (5-6), S. 252-261. DOI: 10.1007/s11199-015-0451-7
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11199-015-0451-7 Abstract: This study examined the nonverbal and verbal expressions of hostile and benevolent sexism. Hostile sexism is sexist antipathy and benevolent sexism is a chivalrous belief that women are warm yet incompetent. We predicted that hostile sexist men would display less affiliative expressions but benevolent sexist men would display more affiliative expressions during mixed-gender interactions. Twenty-seven pairs of U.S. male and female undergraduates from a private university in New England participated in this study. These mixed-gender dyads participated in two social interactions: a structured trivia game followed by an unstructured conversation period. During the trivia game, men with more benevolent sexism were perceived to be more patient overall when waiting for the woman to answer the trivia questions. Furthermore, we examined the men’s nonverbal and verbal expressions during the unstructured interaction—naïve raters made impression ratings of the men’s nonverbal and verb al behavior, and trained coders counted the frequency of specific nonverbal cues (e.g., smiles). A word count software was used for verbal content analysis. As predicted, more hostile sexism was associated with less affiliative nonverbal and verbal expressions (e.g., less approachable, less friendly, and less smiling), but more benevolent sexism was associated with more affiliative nonverbal and verbal expressions (e.g., more approachable, more likely to smile, and more positive word usage). The effects held after controlling for men’s personality traits and partners’ nonverbal behavior. Differential behavioral expressions of benevolent and hostile sexism have theoretical importance as we can examine how sexism maintains the status quo at the interpersonal level.

(2015): Hostile sexism (de)motivates women's social competition intentions. The contradictory role of emotions. In: The British journal of social psychology 54 (3), S. 483-499. DOI: 10.1111/bjso.12100
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12100 Abstract: In the present research, we examine the ways in which exposure to hostile sexism influences women's competitive collective action intentions. Prior to testing our main model, our first study experimentally induced high versus low levels of security-comfort with the aim of providing experimental evidence for the proposed causal link between these emotions and intentions to engage in social competition. Results showed that lower levels of security-comfort reduced women's readiness to compete socially with men. Experiment 2 investigated the effect of hostile sexism on women's emotional reactions and readiness to engage in social competition. Consistent with the proposed model, results showed that exposure to hostile beliefs about women (1) increased anger-frustration and (2) decreased security-comfort. More specifically, exposure to hostile sexism had a positive indirect effect on social competition intentions through anger-frustration, and a negative indirect effect through security-comfort.

(2015) : Sexism In: Wright, James D.: International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (Second Edition): Oxford: Elsevier, S. 693-699
Abstract: This article first reviews the historical rise and the developments of psychological research on sexism which led to the differentiation between biological sex and cultural gender, and highlights commonalities between gender relations and other status-based intergroup relations. Old-fashioned, overt and explicit forms of sexism are then distinguished from contemporary, more subtle, and implicit forms. The latter are characterized by ambivalence of hostility and benevolence toward women. The final section discusses major behavioral consequences of the different forms of sexism, emphasizing the harmful impact of benevolence on women's feelings of self-worth and competence, and actual performances.

(2014): What looks like sexism and why? The effect of comment type and perpetrator type on women's perceptions of sexism. In: The Journal of general psychology 141 (3), S. 263-279. DOI: 10.1080/00221309.2014.907769
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24940815 Abstract: Sexist comments are not perceived equally in the eyes of women. We extend previous research by examining the degree to which multiple types of potentially sexist comments made by multiple types of men are perceived as sexist. Further, we examine the degree to which three possible mediators--prototypicality, perceived intent, and interdependence--explained these effects. Female undergraduate students (N = 248) were randomly assigned to read a scenario in which a hostile sexist, benevolent sexist, or objectifying comment was made by one of three types of men: a stranger, their boss, or their boyfriend. Results demonstrate that hostile sexism was perceived as more sexist than benevolent sexism or objectification. Comments made by boyfriends were also rated as less sexist than those made by bosses or strangers. Furthermore, perceptions of prototypicality of the comment or perpetrator and perceived intent to harm mediated the effect of study manipulations on perceptions of sexism.

(2007): Negative Soziale Unterstützung bei der Bewältigung von Lebensbelastungen. In: Zeitschrift für Gesundheitspsychologie 15 (2), S. 43-56. DOI: 10.1026/0943-8149.15.2.43
Abstract: Neben unterstützendem Verhalten müssen durch Lebensereignisse Belastete immer auch mit belastenden Reaktionen aus ihrer Umwelt rechnen. Dieses Phänomen und seine Effekte wurden konzeptuell und empirisch analysiert. Es wird über eine retrospektive Lebensereignisstudie mit 224 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern berichtet, bei der u. a. negative und positive Unterstützungsformen erhoben wurden. Explorative Hauptkomponentenanalysen erbrachten vier gut interpretierbare und mit den konzeptuellen Analysen übereinstimmende Faktoren negativer Unterstützung (Kritik und Abwertung, Diskriminierung und Feindseligkeit, Enttäuschung und nicht ernst nehmen, Einmischung und übertriebene Sorge), wobei übertriebene und mangelnde Unterstützung (Einmischung/übertriebene Sorge, Enttäuschung/nicht ernst nehmen) häufiger vorkamen als die beiden aggressiveren Formen (Kritik und Abwertung, Diskriminierung und Feindseligkeit). Letztere waren mit schlechterem Bewältigungserfolg, geringerem Selbstwert und schlechterem Befinden am Ende des Lebensereignisses assoziiert. Mediator- und Moderatoranalysen zeigten, dass diese Effekte zum Teil durch die initiale Reaktion auf das belastende Ereignis vermittelt wurden, insofern solche Personen ein hohes Maß an Negativunterstützung erlebten, die initial intensiv und eher negativ auf das Ereignis reagierten. Das Ausmaß erhaltener positiver Unterstützung konnte diese Effekte puffern. Die Ergebnisse sprechen dafür, negativer Unterstützung bei präventiven Maßnahmen vermehrte Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. zitiert von 17

(2004): Bad but bold. Ambivalent attitudes toward men predict gender inequality in 16 nations. In: Journal of personality and social psychology 86 (5), S. 713-728. DOI: 10.1037/0022-3514.86.5.713
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15161396 Abstract: A 16-nation study involving 8,360 participants revealed that hostile and benevolent attitudes toward men, assessed by the Ambivalence Toward Men Inventory (P. Click & S.T. Fiske, 1999), were (a) reliably measured across cultures, (b) positively correlated (for men and women, within samples and across nations) with each other and with hostile and benevolent sexism toward women (Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, P. Click & S.T. Fiske, 1996), and (c) negatively correlated with gender equality in cross-national comparisons. Stereotype measures indicated that men were viewed as having less positively valenced but more powerful traits than women. The authors argue that hostile as well as benevolent attitudes toward men reflect and support gender inequality by characterizing men as being designed for dominance. zitiert von 387

(2001): An ambivalent alliance. Hostile and benevolent sexism as complementary justifications for gender inequality. In: American Psychologist 56 (2), S. 109-118. DOI: 10.1037/0003-066X.56.2.109
Abstract: The equation of prejudice with antipathy is challenged by recent research on sexism. Benevolent sexism (a subjectively favorable, chivalrous ideology that offers protection and affection to women who embrace conventional roles) coexists with hostile sexism (antipathy toward women who are viewed as usurping men's power). The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, first validated in U.S. samples, has been administered to over 15,000 men and women in 19 nations. Hostile and benevolent sexism are complementary, cross-culturally prevalent ideologies, both of which predict gender inequality. Women, as compared with men, consistently reject hostile sexism but often endorse benevolent sexism (especially in the most sexist cultures). By rewarding women for conforming to a patriarchal status quo, benevolent sexism inhibits gender equality. More generally, affect toward minority groups is often ambivalent, but subjectively positive stereotypes are not necessarily benign.

(1999): Hostilität und Benevolenz. Eine Skala zur Erfassung des ambivalenten Sexismus. In: Zeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie 30 (4), S. 211-228. DOI: 10.1024//0044-3514.30.4.211
Abstract: Es wird eine deutsche Version des "Ambivalent Sexism Inventory" (ASI) vorgestellt. Diese Skala dient der Erfassung ambivalenter Einstellungen gegenüber Frauen. Anders als die Konzepte des traditionellen und des modernen Sexismus trennt das Konzept des ambivalenten Sexismus zwischen negativen, offen feindseligen Einstellungen (Hostilität) und subjektiv positiven, wohlwollenden Einstellungen (Benevolenz). Untersuchungen an zwei studentischen und drei nichtstudentischen Stichproben mit insgesamt 773 Versuchspersonen wiesen die 22-Item-Skala als reliabel und valide aus. Insbesondere bestätigte sich die Hypothese, dass Hostilität und Benevolenz zwei separate Subsysteme sexistischer Einstellungen mit gegenläufiger subjektiver Valenz bilden. In der abschließenden Diskussion werden Perspektiven der Forschung zu sexistischen Einstellungen aufgezeigt. zitiert von 69
