Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

348
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
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...

  • Examine its impact on employee well-being and gender segregation.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted two pilot studies and five empirical studies.
  • Surveyed over 5,000 respondents across diverse occupations.
  • Analyzed the dimensions and nomological network of Femininity Workplace Culture.

Main Results:

  • Identified two dimensions of Femininity Workplace Culture: communal norms and unmitigated communion norms.
  • Femininity Workplace Culture distinguishes workers in female-typed industries.
  • Communal norms correlate with positive outcomes; unmitigated communion norms correlate with negative outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Femininity Workplace Culture is ambivalent, with both positive and negative implications.
  • This culture contributes to gender employment segregation.
  • Further research is needed on its effects on employee well-being.
