when I began this research I was first
00:00:02
interested in comparing whether people
00:00:04
preferred self-reliant female leaders to
00:00:06
dominant female leaders and there had
00:00:08
been a fair amount of work describing
00:00:10
sometimes the backlash or penalties that
00:00:12
women face when they're described as
00:00:13
highly dominant what actually surprised
00:00:15
me was when you started describe women
00:00:17
as self-reliant how much of a benefit
00:00:20
that provided compared to describing a
00:00:22
man as self-reliant like that difference
00:00:25
between what self-reliance was conveying
00:00:26
for women as positively and what
00:00:29
self-reliance was conveying negatively
00:00:31
for men the strength of that effect
00:00:33
surprised me it was larger than what I
00:00:35
anticipated when I began this
00:00:41
