Abstract

We investigated women's tendency to self-stereotype both implicitly and explicitly. We examined the relationship between ingroup identification, self-esteem, and self-stereotyping. Our results revealed a significant interaction between valence and gender across both measures of self-stereotyping. Participants identified more with positive gender traits than negative and least with negative male traits.
