As expected, participants associated creativity more with stereotypically masculine traits, including decisiveness, competitiveness, risk-taking, ambition, and daring, than with stereotypically feminine traits like cooperation and understanding.
果不其然,相比传统观念中的女性特质（如合作和理解）,参与者挑选出的大多都和典型的男性特质相符,包括坚定果断、争强好胜、勇于冒险、雄心勃勃以及大胆勇敢.
In a second online study, Proudfoot randomly assigned 169 participants to read about either an architect or a fashion designer; some were told the professional was male and others were told that the professional was female.
在第二个在线实验中,普劳德富特随机指派169名参与者阅读关于一个建筑师或一个设计师的资料,一部分人被告知这名专业人士为男性,另一部分人被告知这名专业人士为女性.
The participants viewed three images of the person's work and rated the work on its creativity, originality, and outside-the-box thinking.
参与者通过三张照片了解这位专业人士的作品,并从创造性、原创性和开创性思考三个方面来给作品打分.
The male architect was judged as more creative than the female architect, despite the fact that their creations were identical.
尽管他们的作品大体相同,但人们还是觉得男性建筑师比女性建筑师更加富有创造力.
'This result suggests that gender bias in creativity judgments may affect tangible economic outcomes for men and women in the workplace,' the researchers write.
普劳德富特写道："研究结果表明,在判断创造力方面的性别偏见可能会影响男女在职场中实际的经济收入.
'In suggesting that women are less likely than men to have their creative thinking recognized, our research not only points to a unique reason why women may be passed over for corporate leadership positions, but also suggests why women remain largely absent from elite circles within creative industries,' says Proudfoot.
"研究显示,女性的创造性思维相比男性更难以得到认可.我们的研究不仅从一个独特的角度解释了女性为什么会与公司高层职位失之交臂,也解释了为什么创意产业的精英圈子里难觅女性的身影.
