Prosociality is an ideal context to begin shifting traditional gender role stereotypes and promoting equality. Men women both help others frequently, but assistance often follows expectations, which further reinforces restrictive in other domains. We propose integrative process model of roles inhibiting prosociality (GRIP) explain why how this occurs. argue that provides a unique entry point for change because it (a) immediately rewarding (which cultivates positive attitude formation), (b)...

Meta-analyzed effect sizes five experiments (total N = 645) supported this complementarity hypothesis. Women who were primed with family-focused (vs. career-focused) male exemplars (Preliminary Study) or information that men are rapidly slowly) assuming greater responsibilities (Studies 1-4) more likely...
Can experiencing adversity enhance people’s appreciation for life’s small pleasures? To examine this question, we asked nearly 15,000 adults to complete a vignette-based measure of savoring.

Although prior work reveals that gender bias against women produces gaps favoring men in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics engagement, research has yet to explore whether health care, early education, domestic (HEED) engagement. Supporting preregistered predictions, results from an online study with MTurkers (
We examined the hypothesis that stereotype threat disrupts reflexive cuing of default self-concept and instead evokes a more reflective process self-definition. Across two studies, reaction time measure math schematicity assessed prior to test was predicted by baseline among men (Study 1) women in nonthreatening condition 2). However, under threat, measured diagnostic unrelated associated with explicit endorsement math. These effects occurred for not language self-schemas, suggesting working...
