Do Sexist Narratives Influence Explicit and Explicit Beliefs about Gender Discrimination?

We tested whether sexism influences gender-discrimination-beliefs in 620 adults. Men exposed to hostile, benevolent, or shift sexism explicitly viewed women as less discriminated against, whereas women’s beliefs remained stable. Implicitly, both genders exposed to hostile or shift sexism viewed women as less discriminated against compared to those in benevolent sexism.
