Abstract
A stronger universal mindset about leadership (the belief that everyone has high leadership potential) helps narrow the gender wage gap. A universal mindset reduced the wage gap in both hiring and promotion decisions, and is associated with lower wage gaps across states. Four studies provide archival, correlational, and experimental evidence.
