Introduction to the Social and Psychological Dynamics of Collective Action (2009, background): “In their article, Ellemers and Barreto (2009) highlight a key obstacle to the development and mobilization of collective action strategies: modern expressions of prejudice that tend to be more subtle and indirect.”
The queen bee phenomenon: Why women leaders distance themselves from junior women (2016, background): “However, modern expressions of sexism are often subtle and implicit, discouraging women from engaging in collective action attempts (Ellemers & Barreto, 2009).”
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): “In both cases the pernicious effects and broader implications of these sexist beliefs are masked – even from those holding such beliefs – either because of the overt emphasis on egalitarianism, or because of their positive tone (Ellemers & Barreto, 2009).”
Allies against Sexism: The Role of Men in Confronting Sexism (2014, background): “…Ellemers, 2005), increasing women’s complacency with the unequal status quo (Jost & Kay, 2005), decreasing collective action (Becker & Wright, 2011; Ellemers & Barreto, 2009), and, for women with low self-esteem, increasing negative self-directed emotions, selfconcern, and self-stereotyping…”
Included but Invisible? Subtle Bias, Common Identity, and the Darker Side of “We” (2016, background): “Subtle bias is more difficult to detect and respond to than blatant bias even for minority-group members (Ellemers & Barreto, 2009), and majority-group members are less attuned to cues of subtle discrimination than are minority-group members (Salvatore & Shelton, 2007).”
“We for She”: Mobilising men and women to act in solidarity for gender equality (2018, background): “…dynamics typically focuses on women and their willingness to engage in protest activities as they are the group disadvantaged by the status quo (e.g., Ellemers & Barreto, 2009; Garcia, Schmitt, Branscombe, & Ellemers, 2010; Radke, Hornsey, & Barlow, 2016; Schmitt, Ellemers, & Branscombe, 2003).”
