It has always been very apparent to me that women experience hardships due to the stereotypes that people place on them. However, I did not realize how much the stereotype threats impact women\u2019s performance in the workplace and especially in leadership roles. I was surprised to hear that \u201cstereotype threat tends to have the most deleterious effects on those for whom the stereotype is the most self- relevant and on those who are motivated to perform well\u201d because I would have thought that women who are motivated to perform better would not be as impacted (Hoyt & Murphy 393). I found this very interesting because I did not realize how important breaking the stereotype would be to a woman who wants to succeed in breaking it, making her hyper aware of what others are thinking about her. I think that my biggest takeaway from these readings about stereotypes is the fact that when people are reminded of the stereotype that people could have about them, they are much more likely to fall into that stereotype. I think that there needs to be a lot done in regard to eliminating stereotypes in our culture, especially with my research project being about the Equal Rights Amendment and how it has gone on for too long that women are not recognized in the Constitution for having the same rights as men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
