Stereotype threat and female communication styles. von Hippel, C., Wiryakusuma, C., Bowden, J., & Shochet, M. Personality & Social Psychology Bulletin, 37(10):1312–24, October, 2011. ![Stereotype threat and female communication styles. [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex A large body of research has documented the performance-debilitating effects of stereotype threat for individuals, but there is a paucity of research exploring interpersonal consequences of stereotype threat. Two experiments tested the hypothesis that stereotype threat would change the style in which women communicate. Results indicate that women who experience stereotype threat regarding leadership abilities react against the stereotype by adopting a more masculine communication style. Study 2 provides evidence that self-affirmation eliminates this effect of stereotype threat on women's communication styles. A third study demonstrates an ironic consequence of this effect of stereotype threat on women's communication–when women under stereotype threat adopt a more masculine communication style, they are rated as less warm and likeable, and evaluators indicate less willingness to comply with their requests. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
