27 WHAT S HOLDING WOMEN BACK

28 Barriers Cultural Gender Based Social Economic Organization

29 Unconscious Bias and Stereotypes

30 Unconscious Gender Stereotypes

31 Systematic Cognitive Errors Gender stereotypes are culturally-shared, socially constructed heuristics about who men and women are and how they should behave Hiring Scenario Rate My Professor Scenario Authoring Scenario Copyright Merida L. Johns

32 Hiring Scenario In the study, Yale University researchers asked 1 scientist at six universities to review identical CVs purporting to belong to senior undergraduate students that had been randomly assigned male or female names. The researchers found that in considering the applicants for a laboratory manager position, staff consistently judged male candidates to be more competent and deserving of an extra $4,000 ( 2,475) pay on average. They were also more willing to provide male applicants with mentoring and were more likely to hire them. Women in the study were just as likely as men to make these judgements, and scientists responded no better than control groups.

33 Rate My Professor Algorithmic sifting of the anonymous online ranking system, RateMyProfessors.com of 3,000,000 students showed that: The term genius is a term students apply to male professors at three times the rate for women at least, depending on the discipline. Brilliance is also something men do better than women In music, male professors are seven times more likely than female professors to be virtuoso performers. Men are rated consistently more knowledgeable and smart, also handsome, cute, charming, funny, and sensitive. Women professors are consistently more likely to be described as feisty, bossy, aggressive, shrill, condescending, rude.

34 Author Scenario Graduate students in communications rated publications supposedly written by male scientists as higher quality than identical work identified with female authors. The research found that -- both men and women -- showed significant bias against study abstracts they read whose authors had female names like "Brenda Collins" or "Melissa Jordan." These students gave higher ratings to the exact same abstracts when the authors were identified with male names like "Andrew Stone" or "Matthew Webb." Copyright Merida L. Johns, PhD 2014
