Dear all,
One of my colleagues passed around this New York Times article on gender
roles in the workplace.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/08/opinion/sunday/sheryl-sandberg-and-adam-g…
In the article they refer to a study in the Journal of Applied Psychology,
in the following paragraph:
In a study <http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/apl/90/3/431/> led by the New
York University
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/n/new_york_university/index.html?inline=nyt-org>
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
