Rolling with the Changes: A Role Congruity Perspective on Gender Norms (2006, background): “Adaptation of prescriptive beliefs to changes in the immediate role context may also be thwarted because of tendencies to legitimize the existing social system (Jost, 2001; Jost & Banaji, 1994).”
Effects of Structural Position on Allocation and Evaluation Decisions for Scientists and Engineers in Industrial R&D (2007, background): “…and Kurtzberg, 2003), research from various disciplines suggests that the emphasis on self-interest and conflict between groups, especially the assumption of a universal ingroup bias, are overplayed (Kluegel and Smith, 1986; Sears and Funk, 1991; Jackman, 1994; Jost, 2001; Jost and Elsbach, 2001).”
