Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Psychology of Female-Male Relations: A Critical Analysis of Central Concepts covers the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours of individuals in social interaction and explicitly considers women and men in relation to one another - as individuals, as representatives of social categories, and as significant social groups. Chapter One lays out the parameters of the social psychology of female-male relations. Chapter Two contains two major insights: that gender identity is a complex, multifaceted construct and that the structure and degree of differentiation of gender identity develop and change over the life course. Chapters Three and Four present a relatively general cognitive social-psychological framework for two important constructs, sex stereotypes and gender-related attitudes. Chapter Five offers a critique of analyses that explain the behavior of women and men in close, personal relationships in terms of sex differences in the individual dispositions of the participants. Chapter Six presents a strong and straightforward critique of the current usage of the term sex role to describe a global set of behavioral prescriptions that apply to all women and to all men. Chapter Seven presents a comprehensive review of research on gender-related patterns of behavior in task groups that cannot be found elsewhere. The concluding chapter summarizes points made in earlier chapters and offers a set of notes toward a theory of female-male relations. Social scientists (especially, psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists) doing research on women, on men, or on women and men in relationships or in social interaction.

Download or read book The Effect of Gender on the Evaluation of a Leader written by Suzanne Verhulp and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper tests the effect of gender on the evaluation of a leader. It is assumed in the literature that females are differently evaluated based on their gender. Different feminine and masculine leadership styles are included to test for differences. Not only the effect of the gender of the leader, but also the effect of the gender of the evaluator is included. Furthermore, some supposedly gender related personality characteristics are included the test their importance. A questionnaire is distributed to gather data. There are three versions of the questionnaire, with the only difference that the gender of the leader is manipulated. Different analyses are performed to test the effect of gender on the evaluation of a leader. The results of this study show that not only the gender of the leader influences the evaluation of a leader, but also the gender of the evaluator. Besides this, no clear indications for lower evaluations of female leaders are found.

Download or read book Subordinate Perception and Evaluation of Leaders who Differ on a Personal Characteristic written by Jack Hays Cage and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to investigate the assumption of contingency leadership theory that leaders are interchangeable: subordinates use the same criteria for evaluating leaders' effectiveness irrespective of the leaders' personal characteristics. Paper-and-pencil instruments based on previous work on leadership by Vroom were created. Each story described a leader, the subject's immediate superior, in a decision-making situation. Every subject was exposed to one story in which the leader was either male or female and the context was masculine or feminine. Subjects were asked to take the subordinate's viewpoint, evaluate the decision-making process, offer prognosis about the outcomes, and assess the leader. The data indicated that the hypotheses received little support. Two hypotheses suggested that the leader will be viewed as most effective when following the prescription of Vroom's model when his/her gender and the context were congruent. The data demonstrated that the appropriately participative leader was rated as more effective than the inappropriately autocratic leader. Two other hypotheses suggested that the leader will be viewed as most effective when behaving stereotypically (women participatively and men autocratically) when the leader's gender and the context were incongruent. The data showed minor support for the condition with female leaders.

Book excerpt: Women often combat stereotypes portraying their inability to lead effectively within an organization. The current paper explores this intersection of gender, attractiveness, and leadership demeanor on followers' perceptions of leadership competence and likeability. Attractiveness is a physical reminder of a woman's femininity and could create conflict if a female leader adopted masculine leadership traits (Bosak & Sczesny, 2011; Rudman, Moss-Rascusin, Phelan, & Nauts, 2012). A series of hypotheses predict that attractive agentic female leaders will be rated more negatively than unattractive agentic female leaders, attractive communal leaders, or unattractive communal leaders. The study utilized a 2 (gender: male vs. female) x 2 (attractiveness: unattractive vs. attractive) x 2 (demeanor: agentic vs. communal) factorial design. The participants (N = 232) read vignettes that manipulated the leader's leadership style, gender, and attractiveness. After reading the scenario, participants rated the leader's likeability and competence. Findings indicate that leaders who engaged in an agentic leadership style were less liked than leaders who engaged in a communal leadership style, regardless of attractiveness or gender. Attractive agentic male leaders received higher likeability ratings than unattractive agentic males. Therefore, leadership style and attractiveness may play a role in subordinates' perceptions of successful leadership.
