PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe how gender stereotypes and self-stereotypes of Danish managers vary among managers at different job levels, from lower level managers to CEO level, in a large survey of Danish private-sector managers.Design/methodology/approachThis study is explorative. Measures of stereotypes and self-stereotypes are constructed and analyzed with regressions models that control for a large number of individual and firm characteristics.FindingsThe results document significant gender differences in stereotyping among managers. Male managers have significantly more masculine stereotypes of successful leaders, and they rate themselves higher on masculine traits than female managers. For CEOs, the picture is different. Stereotypes do not differ by gender and female CEOs have more pronounced masculine stereotypes than female managers at lower levels. Female managers at the age of 50 are the least gender stereotyping managers. Younger female managers have significantly more masculine stereotypes about the role as a successful leader.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is based on cross-sectional data and does not claim to uncover causal relationships.Practical implicationsThe results suggest that gender stereotypes and self-stereotypes among Danish private-sector managers are not going to change quickly indicating that new government policies with more focus on gender equalization and affirmative actions are called for.Originality/valueMost earlier studies of stereotypes concerning female managers are based on studies of samples drawn from the general population or consisting of students. This study makes use of a large sample of managerial employees from all levels of the corporate hierarchy in different types of firms.

This volume presents a contemporary and comprehensive overview of the great diversity of theoretical interests, new ideas, and practical applications that characterize social psychological approaches to stereotyping and prejudice. All the contributions are written by renowned scholars in the field, with some chapters focusing on fundamental principles, including research questions about the brain structures that help us categorize and judge others, the role of evolution in prejudice, and how prejudice relates to language, communication, and social norms. Several chapters review a new dimension that has frequently been understudied-the role of the social context in creating stereotypes and prejudice. Another set of chapters focuses on applications, particularly how stereotypes and prejudice really matter in everyday life. These chapters include studies of their impact on academic performance, their role in small group processes, and their influence on everyday social interactions. The volume provides an essential resource for students, instructors, and researchers in social and personality psychology, and is also an invaluable reference for academics and professionals in related fields who have an interest in the origins and effects of stereotyping and prejudice.

Historically, the concept of 'stereotyping' has come to imply a fixed, polarized, & homogeneous set of attributes. Following Lippmann, who originated the term to symbolize the fixedness of some images, it has become customary to speak of acquiring (& relinquishing ) stereotypes as intact, cohesive sets of attributes. However, separating the dimension of homogeneity from the dimensions of fixedness & polarity, it is possible to discriminate a process of stereotyping, in which attributes relevant to a general evaluative criterion become increasingly homogeneous. Drawing on data from a panel study of candidate images during the 1960 presidential campaign, it is shown that R's tended to increase the homogeneity of image attributes as the campaign progressed, independent of changes in polarity. There were suggestive diff's between persons with varying levels of attribute homogeneity in their images, both in the initial levels & in the change levels. AA.
