Abstract
The present study examined emotional reactivity to sexism among women in male-dominated majors (MDMs) utilizing experience sampling methodology. Compared to reference groups (men in MDMs, women in gender-neutral majors), women in MDMs assessed their feelings more negatively and reported lower comfort levels after experiencing sexism within the past hour.
