(2015): Explicit but not implicit sexist beliefs predict benevolent and hostile sexist behavior. In: European Journal of Social Psychology 45 (6), S. 702-715. DOI: 10.1002/ejsp.2128
Abstract: Investigated how different benevolent (i.e. paternalistic) and hostile sexist behaviors correlate with implicit and explicit sexist attitudes. In Study 1, with 126 male participants (mean age 24 years), two implicit association tests for benevolent sexism and hostile sexism (BS-IAT and HS-IAT) were developed and validated, and intercorrelations between implicit and explicit attitudes were examined. Explicit benevolent and hostile sexist attitudes were assessed with the Skala zur Erfassung des ambivalenten Sexismus (ASS, German translation of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, ASI). Results show that implicit and explicit benevolent sexist beliefs, as well as implicit and explicit hostile sexist beliefs, were positively correlated. Study 2 tested whether implicit and explicit benevolent and hostile sexist attitudes correlate with benevolent and hostile sexist behaviors (such as gender-stereotyped task assignment or recommending sexist jokes, respectively) in a subgroup of 83 participants from Study 1 (mean age 24 years). Results show that, as expected, explicit benevolent (but not hostile) sexist attitudes predicted benevolent sexist behavior, whereas explicit hostile (but not benevolent) sexist attitudes predicted hostile sexist behavior. Implicit sexist attitudes did not predict sexist behavior. The implications of these findings are discussed.
