Abstract

We investigate whether exposure to a woman who expresses anger about gender inequality is negatively evaluated and undermines collective action for gender equality. Research suggests that women are derogated when they express anger because this emotion violates feminine social norms and communal gender roles. Across two studies (Study 1 N = 227; Study 2 N = 254), participants were exposed to a speech from a woman political candidate discussing gender inequality. Participants evaluated the candidate more negatively, and were less willing to engage in collective action with her when she expressed anger about gender inequality compared to no anger. We also examined whether this finding could be attenuated when the candidate expressed anger about gender inequality for communal reasons and found partial support. Our findings suggest that we need to tackle the narrow expectations of what it means to be a woman to facilitate collective action for greater gender equality.

女性因表达基于群体的愤怒而受到贬损,这破坏了为性别平等而采取的集体行动。
我们调查了一个对性别不平等表达愤怒的女人是否会受到负面评价,并破坏性别平等的集体行动。研究表明,当女性表达愤怒时,她们会受到贬损,因为这种情绪违反了女性的社会规范和社会性别角色。两项研究(研究1 N = 227;研究2 (N = 254),参与者听了一位女性政治候选人讨论性别不平等的演讲。参与者对候选人的评价更为负面,当她对性别不平等表达愤怒时,与不表达愤怒相比,参与者更不愿意与她一起采取集体行动。我们还研究了当候选人出于公共原因表达对性别不平等的愤怒并获得部分支持时,这一发现是否会减弱。我们的研究结果表明,我们需要解决对女性意味着什么的狭隘期望,以促进促进性别平等的集体行动。
