Document Summary
Beliefs that certain attributes are characteristic of member of particular group. Pre-judging a person/group base on what group they belong to. Negative or harmful behavior directed to a group based on the membership and not individual characteristics. E. g. female doctors are less likely to be introduced with proper title by male introducers. Rejection of explicitly racist beliefs, but privately feeling animosity, suspicion or discomfort towards a particular group. Less likely to be noticed, more likely to emerge if possible to justify (e. g. compare two equivalent candidates, makes the modern racism flaw more evident) Protectiveness and affection toward women who embrace conventional roles. E. g. mentioning daughters when denouncing sexual assault ("as a father of a daughter ") daughter ") Allow people hold onto hostile sexism (dislike non traditional women) The idea that women needs help can foster self doubts and other negative impacts. People not always tell the truth (as they can see through the questions)
