when I began this research I was first interested in comparing whether people preferred self-reliant female leaders to
00:00:06
dominant female leaders and there had been a fair amount of work describing sometimes the backlash or penalties that
00:00:12
women face when they're described as highly dominant what actually surprised
00:00:15
me was when you started describe women as self-reliant how much of a benefit that provided compared to describing a
00:00:22
man as self-reliant like that difference between what self-reliance was conveying
00:00:26
for women as positively and what self-reliance was conveying negatively for men the strength of that effect
00:00:33
surprised me it was larger than what I anticipated when I began this research
