Abstract
Sexist beliefs may impact those who hold those beliefs, indicating what their motivations for endorsing them may be. The study found no beneficial relationship wherein priming sexist beliefs positively impacted self-reported feelings of competence, but did find a negative impact of hostile sexist priming on academic self-worth in all participants.
