SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: A Focus on Appearance Increases Benevolent Sexism in Men and Women
Source: PsyPost
New research suggests that when men and women focus on their physical appearance, they tend to become more supportive of benevolent sexism. These findings indicate that everyday situations emphasizing how we look might inadvertently reinforce traditional gender roles and preserve the societal status quo. The study, published in Japanese Journal of Social Psychology, used a simulated online shopping platform to induce a focus on appearance.
