The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Workplace Diversity
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Workplace discrimination hinders diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
  • Previous studies indicated high discrimination rates among Australian and New Zealand ophthalmologists.
  • Data on discrimination experienced by US ophthalmologists remain limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency, nature, and outcomes of discrimination experienced by US ophthalmologists and trainees.
  • To investigate the association between discrimination and job satisfaction and career goal achievement.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study utilizing anonymous online surveys.
  • Data collected from ophthalmologists and trainees across 10 US-based ophthalmology organizations between May 5 and July 22, 2022.
  • Outcomes measured included frequency, bases, consequences, and sources of discrimination, as well as its association with job satisfaction and career goals.

Main Results:

  • 41.9% of 463 respondents reported experiencing discrimination.
  • Gender-based discrimination was more prevalent among women than men (67.6% vs 9.5%).
  • Discrimination was associated with lower job satisfaction and reduced achievement of career goals.

Conclusions:

  • Discrimination is prevalent in US ophthalmology, disproportionately affecting women.
  • Negative consequences include disrespect, loss of employment opportunities, and reduced income.
  • Addressing discrimination is crucial for improving the work environment and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion goals in ophthalmology.
