A bed of thorns: Female leaders and the self-reinforcing cycle of illegitimacy (2016, methodology): “Thus, people tend to dislike, reject, and punish women who display agency in general (e.g., those who self-promote; Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010).”
Who Takes the Floor and Why (2011, background): “Moss-Racusin and Rudman (2010) recently developed a fear of backlash scale, which has been shown to explain women’s failure to self-promote.”
How Can Women Escape the Compensation Negotiation Dilemma? Relational Accounts Are One Answer (2013, background): “…normative expectations of women as other-oriented and caring, as giving rather than taking in character (Amanatullah & Morris, 2010; Bowles, Babcock, & Lai, 2007; Burgess & Borgida, 1999; Eagly, 1987; Jackman, 1994; Latu et al., 2011; Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010; Rudman & Glick, 2001; Wade, 2001).”
Gender Differences in Work-Family Guilt in Parents of Young Children (2017, background): “…for pay instead of taking care of her young child), critical comments from colleagues may both further reinforce her belief that a norm violation has occurred and also intensify her negative emotional reaction regarding her behavior (Moss‐Racusin and Rudman 2010; Rudman and Fairchild 2004).”
Negotiating the Gender Divide (2012, background): “…a woman is negotiating her starting employment conditions, coordinating team members, lobbying for her proposals, or defining the specific tasks associated with her work role, her agentic competitive behaviors put relationships with coworkers and supervisors at risk (Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010).”
Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students (2012, unknown): “36 and 37).”
Predicting Publication Success for Biologists (2013, background): “…(Monosson 2008, McGuire et al. 2012, O’Brien and Hapgood 2012), potential gender bias (Brown 2008), a tendency for women to avoid self-promotion (Moss-Racusin and Rudman 2010), and feelings of isolation among female researchers (Nature 2011), among other reasons (see also Laurance et al.…”
Asked More Often: Gender Differences in Faculty Workload in Research Universities and the Work Interactions That Shape Them (2017, background): “As noted earlier, women saying ‘‘no’’ to work requests may violate the requestor’s gender stereotypes, causing the woman faculty member to be perceived as cold, selfish, and not a team player (Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010).”
Positive Stereotypes Are Pervasive and Powerful (2015, background): “Agentic and self-promoting women may act in ways that emphasize positive female stereotypes related to communality and dependence in order to maintain others’ favorable impressions of them (Becker, Glick, Ilic, & Bohner, 2011; Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010).”
Backlash From the Bedroom (2013, result): “This reasoning also seems consistent given the backlash avoidance model, or the idea that women’s fear of backlash may interfere with their ability to self-promote (Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010).”
Leading with their hearts? How gender stereotypes of emotion lead to biased evaluations of female leaders (2016, unknown): “…and that they are acutely aware of the possibility that backlash effects for other types of gender stereotype violations may occur (Amanatullah & Morris, 2010; Brescoll, 2011; Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010), women may end up behaving in such a way as to reinforce certain gender–emotion stereotypes.”
