Creativity from Constraint? How the Political Correctness Norm Influences Creativity in Mixed-sex Work Groups (2015, background): “This equivalence in uncertainty is important because, regardless of the accuracy of their perceptions, men may resist progress on gender equity (Rudman and Phelan, 2008) and, as the historically powerful group at work, stand in the way of achieving gender equity (Magee and Galinsky, 2008).”
Intimate Partner Violence: The Influence of Job Opportunities for Men and Women (2019, background): “11 By backlash, here we mean social reprisals that occur when a woman behaves counterstereotypically (Rudman and Phelan 2008).”
When men break the gender rules: Status incongruity and backlash against modest men. (2010, background): “However, when people deviate from stereotypic expectations, they encounter backlash (i.e., social and economic penalties; Rudman & Phelan, 2008).”
Microdynamics in diverse teams: A review and integration of the diversity and stereotyping literatures (2017, background): “But stereotypes also carry a prescriptive aspect, which represent norms about how we think members of groups should be and act (prescriptions) and should not be and act (proscriptions) (Eagly & Karau, 2002; Heilman, 2001; Rudman & Fairchild, 2004; Rudman & Phelan, 2008).”
When Equal Isn't Really Equal: The Masculine Dilemma of Seeking Work Flexibility (2013, background): “Conversely, men and women may not differ in their evaluations of male flexibility-seeking targets, as suggested by past investigations of atypical men (for a review, Rudman & Phelan, 2008).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, positive): “Women in male-dominated fields also risk backlash, or negative social and economic repercussions for violating gender stereotypes (Eagly & Karau, 2002; Rudman & Phelan, 2008), making advancement more difficult.”
The effect of priming gender roles on women's implicit gender beliefs and career aspirations (2010, neutral): “…women are just as likely as men to penalize female vanguards by viewing them as socially unattractive – a phenomenon termed backlash effects (Rudman, 1998; see also Heilman, Wallen, Fuchs, & Tamkins, 2004; Phelan, Moss-Racussin, & Rudman, 2008; Rudman & Glick, 1999, 2001; Rudman & Phelan, 2008).”
Department Conditions and Practices Associated with Faculty Workload Satisfaction and Perceptions of Equity (2019, background): “Such communication, or “sense-making” (Weick, 1995), an ingredient found in other efforts to create inclusive organizational cultures (Latimer et al., 2014; Rudman & Phelan, 2008), engendered faculty perception that equity was important to members within their department.”
Penalizing Men Who Request a Family Leave: Is Flexibility Stigma a Femininity Stigma? (2013, background): “Because backlash effects are not moderated by perceivers’ gender (Rudman & Phelan, 2008), we predicted that both genders would similarly use femininity stigma to justify penalizing male leave takers.”
