Abstract:
The current study investigated the nomological net of gender bias by exploring how the concepts of descriptive/prescriptive bias (Gill, 2004) and hostile/benevolent sexism (Glick & Fiske, 1996) related to two personality traits of Right Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation, as well as to each other. Using a sample of 467 individuals, analyses indicated that both Right Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation explained more variance for prescriptive than descriptive gender bias while prescriptive bias is more strongly related with hostile than benevolent sexism. Such results indicate that the nomological net of gender bias is quite complex.
