Despite global commitments and efforts, a gender‐based division of paid unpaid work persists. To identify how psychological factors, national policies, the broader sociocultural context contribute to this inequality, we assessed parental‐leave intentions in young adults (18–30 years old) planning have children ( N = 13,942; 8,880 identified as women; 5,062 men) across 37 countries that varied policies societal gender equality. In all countries, women intended take longer leave than men....
Using data from 15 countries, this article investigates whether descriptive and prescriptive gender norms concerning housework child care (domestic work) changed after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Results a total 8,343 participants ( M = 19.95, SD 1.68) two comparable student samples suggest that about unpaid domestic work have been affected by pandemic, with individuals seeing mothers’ relative to fathers’ share as even larger. Moderation analyses revealed effect pandemic on decreased...
Abstract Evidence of female-favoring hiring preferences for assistant professorships suggests that universities can implement affirmative action programs successfully. However, research on the role applicant gender and actual use policies in processes high-level remain scarce. A web-based experiment with 481 economic university members assessed whether evaluators perceived a female as less qualified than male an associate professorship position when job advertisement highlighted university’s...
Abstract The study addressed the underrepresentation of women in university leadership by focusing on middle management role dean. This research set forth two processes that may affect female and male professors' ambition to become a dean: (a) gender bias whereby stakeholders are more likely recommend men than for deanships, (b) self‐selection find deanships appealing do. A multisource, time‐lagged 278 professors from Germany, Austria, Switzerland found both being recommended deanship...
The rewetting of formerly drained peatlands can help to counteract climate change through the reduction CO2 emissions. However, this lead resuming CH4 emissions due changes in microbiome, favoring CH4-producing archaea. How plants, hydrology and microbiomes interact as ultimate determinants dynamics is still poorly understood. Using a mesocosm approach, we studied peat microbiomes, below-ground root biomass fluxes with three different water level regimes (stable high, stable low fluctuating)...
Abstract In the present work, we addressed relationship between parental leave policies and social norms. Using a pre‐registered, cross‐national approach, examined perception of norms for gender division childcare. this study, 19,259 students (11,924 women) from 48 countries indicated degree to which they believe childcare is (descriptive norm) should be (prescriptive equally divided among mothers fathers. Policies were primarily operationalized as existence options in respective country....
<p>Peatlands cover only 3% of the lands surface, but store roughly a third global soil carbon due to inhibited decomposition rates. Over peatland area in Europe are fens, which peat is primarily formed by roots and rhizomes vascular plants. These fens have been subjected widespread drainage conversion into agricultural areas. As result, they continuously emit large amount greenhouse gases. One strategy mitigating emissions, ideally restoring original sink function, rewet fen...
