Leader or Leaderess? Consequences of Using Feminatives for the Perception of Leadership

Abstracts

EN

According to the Implicit Leadership Theory, leadership roles are assigned in the process of social construction and depend upon the level of congruence with the cognitive representation of a leader. Previous studies show that this cognitive representation is much more likely to involve a leader being a male rather than a female. The article presents the results of an experiment aimed at tentatively verifying whether the use of the feminine forms could increase the cognitive availability of the representation of a woman as a leader. In the experiment, 135 teams (N = 307 respondents) were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions: 1) generic instruction (without the use of feminatives, “Please, draw a leader”), 2) inclusive instruction (using feminatives, “Please, draw a leader/leaderess”). The results showed a significant interaction between the experimental manipulation and the proportion of women in the team. The use of feminine forms increased the percentage of females drawn as leaders only in teams with a high female-to-male ratio.

Zgodnie z teorią utajonych teorii przywództwa role przywódcze nadawane są w procesie konstrukcji społecznej, w którym punkt odniesienia stanowi poziom zgodności ze schematem poznawczym lidera. Wcześniejsze badania wykazały, że w schemat lidera częściej wpisuje się bycie mężczyzną niż kobietą. Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wyniki badania eksperymentalnego, wstępnie weryfikującego czy wykorzystanie form żeńskich może doprowadzić do zwiększenia dostępności poznawczej wizerunku kobiety jako liderki. W eksperymencie 135 zespołów (N = 307 osób badanych) zostało losowo przydzielonych do jednego z dwóch warunków eksperymentalnych: 1) instrukcja generyczna (niewykorzystująca feminatywów, „Proszę, żebyście wspólnie narysowali lidera”); 2) instrukcja inkluzywna (wykorzystująca feminatywy, „Proszę, żebyście wspólnie narysowali lidera/liderkę”). Wyniki wykazały istotną interakcję pomiędzy manipulacją eksperymentalną a proporcją kobiet w zespole. Wykorzystanie form żeńskich okazało się istotnie przewidywać odsetek rysunków przedstawiających kobiety liderki jedynie dla zespołów o wysokiej proporcji kobiet do mężczyzn.
