Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mixed results could be due to the nature of the task used in these studies. Some tasks may have characteristics that are traditionally associated with masculine traits and therefore, may lead to gender biases in leadership emergence. Other tasks may have characteristics that are traditionally associated with feminine traits and therefore, may enhance the leadership emergence of women.
