Gender on Self-Definitions in Work-Related and Relational Contexts: Are Women and Men Different or Similar?
Küçükkömürler, Sanem; Baltacı, Sinem (2017-11-10)
Beliefs and expectations about gender differences have been existed throughout the history. In these beliefs and expectations, the basic assumption was that "women and men are different". Studies in the literature showed that within-group differences are greater than between-group differences for gender-related issues [1]. However beliefs and expectations about gender differences still lead people to express gender schema-consistent manifestations. Therefore different gender related beliefs about self may l...
