PSYC12H3 Lecture 10: lecture 10 notes
Document Summary
What they are than who they are: eg women and children first, children should be first kind of but women it"s kind of sexist, ambivalent sexism, sexism has two components. has a very strong negative hostile sexism. the more science and math classes taken, less likely women seen in leadership positions in co-ed. In women"s school, more math and science it"s more of a positive effect. so being exposed to counter-stereotypic role models helps. eg female professor in math, comp sci, engineering: but. eg in women"s college see role models as women but also see these women as peers too. safe environment: could be single sex schools or classrooms, single race schools, eg in waterloo put pics up of more female scientists, mathematicians on walls as decoration which found that changed women"s views and performance (i think)
