Question 3

The study in which children were asked to rate the status and pay of the fictional job of "tenic" demonstrates that
A) females and males are viewed the same when doing the same work.
B) gender expectations lead to more favorable evaluations of jobs associated with men.
C) jobs for women are seen as much more difficult than jobs associated with men.
D) inequality occurs between jobs, but not within them.

Accepted Answer

The study demonstrates that gender expectations lead to more favorable evaluations of jobs associated with men. This is because the fictional job of "tenic" was exactly the same as the job of "nurse," but when described as a male job, it was rated as having a higher status and pay. This suggests that gender stereotypes and expectations play a role in how we perceive the value of different jobs.
