Can Looks Deceive You? Attractive Decoys Mitigate Beauty is Beastly Bias Against Women (ICPSR 37315)

Released/updated on: 2019-05-10

Applicant attractiveness is usually beneficial in employee selection. However, under some circumstances, female applicant attractiveness can be detrimental, demonstrating a subtle form of gender bias. Little research has explored factors that accentuate or attenuate negative evaluations of attractive female job candidates (the beauty is beastly effect). In a series of studies, we find that the presence of a second attractive decoy job candidate in the hiring pool decreased the beauty is beastly effect. Mediation analysis suggests that the dominance heuristic explains the effect. The findings shed light on the beauty is beastly effect, the importance of context, and gender bias.

ECIN Replication Package for "Gender stereotypes and hiding low performance" (ICPSR 193841)

Released/updated on: 2023-11-01

Time period: 2019-12-01--2020-02-01

Do men incur a psychological cost when they are outperformed by a woman

competitor? We conduct a laboratory experiment that allows us to measure this

cost. The experiment is conducted in both the US and China. In our Chinese

sample, men are willing to pay more to hide the fact that they have performed

worse than another individual than women are, while there is no gender difference

in the US. In China, women are willing to pay more to hide poor performance when

losing to another woman than to a man, while in the US, the opposite pattern is

observed.

The Eurobarometer series is a unique cross-national and cross-temporal survey program conducted on behalf of the European Commission. These surveys regularly monitor public opinion in the European Union (EU) member countries and consist of standard modules and special topic modules. The standard modules address attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as respondent and household demographics. The special topic modules address such topics as agriculture, education, natural environment and resources, public health, public safety and crime, and science and technology.

This round of Eurobarometer surveys covers the following special topics: (1) the European Parliament, (2) Autonomous Systems, (3) Gender Equality, and (4) Attitudes of Europeans towards tobacco and electronic cigarettes. Questions regarding the European Parliament (EP) included information on and the role of the EP, knowledge about European institutions and the EP, the present and future of the EP, European values and policies, European identity, and country specific media use. Respondents' opinions were collected regarding their awareness of, usage of, and attitude towards autonomous systems including robots, driverless cars, and civil drones. Respondents were also questioned about their perception of, attitude towards, and political priorities regarding gender equality and stereotypes, violence against women, and fields of inequality. Further questions were asked regarding smoking habits and various tobacco/nicotine products. Respondents were queried about their efforts to quit smoking, passive smoking inside, and banning advertisements for tobacco products. Lastly, respondents were asked about their socioeconomic position in society, whether their voice was being heard in the electoral system, and their opinions on if their home country and the European Union were generally going in the right or wrong direction.

Demographic and other background information collected includes nationality, occupation, left-right political self-placement, marital status, age when stopped full-time education, gender, age, household composition, ownership of a fixed or mobile telephone and other goods, difficulties in paying bills, self-assessed social class, and Internet use.

Gender Discrimination in Hiring: Intersectional Effects with Ethnicity and Cognitive Job Demands (ICPSR 37286)

Released/updated on: 2019-03-21

Studies on hiring discrimination typically consider one diversity dimension at a time. Building on a multiple categorization and cognitive matching perspective, this study investigated how applicants' gender intersects with other status characteristics (ethnicity) and cognitive job demands for a better understanding of gender discrimination in resumé screening. An experimental study among 214 Belgian HR-professionals showed that a Maghreb/Arab female applicant received lower job suitability ratings compared to equally qualified native/Belgian female and Maghreb/Arab male applicants when they applied for a high cognitive demanding job. No differences were found when they applied for a low cognitive demanding job. Study findings point to the complexity of gender discrimination in hiring (i.e., resumé screening) as double jeopardy of ethnic minority women (i.e., Maghreb/Arab) may also depend on the type of job (i.e., cognitive demanding or not) one is applying for. We conclude with a critical reflection on findings, future research opportunities and implications for practice, like anonymous resumé screening.
