Dear all,
One of my colleagues passed around this New York Times article on gender roles in the workplace.
In the article they refer to a study in the Journal of Applied Psychology, in the following paragraph:
In a study led
by the New
York University psychologist Madeline Heilman, participants evaluated the performance of a male or female employee who did or
did not stay late to help colleagues prepare for an important meeting. For staying late and helping, a man was rated 14 percent more favorably than a woman. When both declined, a woman was rated 12 percent lower than a man. Over and over, after giving identical
help, a man was significantly more likely to be recommended for promotions, important projects, raises and bonuses. A woman had to help just to get the same rating as a man who didn’t help.
I was interested in using this data during class, but the only way to access the data is to pay $12 for the article. Does anyone have the data that led to the above values that we could use in a simulation experiment?
Thanks for your help,
Kevin
