Gender Stereotypes and Their Impact on Women’s Career Progressions from a Managerial Perspective (2021, background): “Koenig and Eagly (2005) suggest that while gender stereotypes do prevent people from excelling in counter-stereotypical domains, they also help people to perform well in domains which are endorsed as gender-appropriate by stereotypical attitudes.”
Microdynamics in diverse teams: A review and integration of the diversity and stereotyping literatures (2017, background): “…with affective information (Leyens, Désert, Croizet, & Darcis, 2000), and performed worse than women on a test of social insensitivity when they were told that women perform better on that test (but not when they were told that the test assessed information processing) (Koenig & Eagly, 2005).”
Beyond the Glass Ceiling: The Glass Cliff and Its Lessons for Organizational Policy (2014, background): “…self-stereotyping; that is, in deciding whether or not to take on a leadership position, women’s own views about how they could contribute to an organization were aligned with the gendered leader stereotypes that exist about them (Barreto, Ellemers, Cihangir, & Stroebe, 2008; Koenig & Eagly, 2005).”
Stereotypes and the Achievement Gap: Stereotype Threat Prior to Test Taking (2012, background): “Likewise, male students performed worse on an achievement test when they were informed the test was to measure “social sensitivity” as compared to “information processing” (Koenig and Eagly 2005).”
Gender Roles and Empathic Accuracy: The Role of Communion in Reading Minds (2009, background): “For example, Koenig and Eagly (2005) showed that when participants were primed to believe that a test of interpersonal sensitivity was a feminine (versus neutral) task, women’s accuracy was not affected.”
An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “For example, Koenig and Eagly (2005) compared the performance of women and men on a test of social sensitivity that involved answering questions about the relationships and intentions of the actors in a series of video clips.”
Women in high places: When and why promoting women into top positions can harm them individually or as a group (and how to prevent this) (2012, background): “Indeed, gendered leadership expectations can also impact on the attitudes and beliefs of women (Koenig & Eagly, 2005), who may then emphasize and exaggerate their ability to display relational leadership behavior through processes of self-stereotyping.”
Managing to clear the air: Stereotype threat, women, and leadership (2016, background): “…performance in domains beyond academics; for example, threat effects have been shown for White men in athletics (Stone, Lynch, Sjomeling, & Darley, 1999), older adults in memory tasks (Hess, Auman, Colcombe, & Rahhal, 2003; Levy, 1996), and men in social sensitivity tasks (Koenig & Eagly, 2005).”
