Women have long been subjected to “Stereotype Thre at”. This psychological phenomenon leads people to underperform relative to their potential abilities because of their group affiliation. Stereoty pe threat can occur whenever an individual is a member of a group that is believed to be “less effective” at a particular task compared to other groups (e.g. women relative to men in competitive negotiations\, White Am erican men relative to African American men on physical prowess\, etc.). T his means that women in competitive corporate and business school environm ents tend to be disadvantaged relative to similarly qualified men. Here co mes a solution! Professor Kinias will share insights from her new research studies showing that by facilitating women to reflect on and affirm their personal values\, this substantially reduces the gender gap in a competit ive business school environment. This positive reinforcement reduces perfe ctionism\, which can interfere with their ability to perform to their pote ntial. It is believed that this “value reflection activity” could redu ce gender gaps wherever objective performance indicators show that men are outperforming relative to similarly qualified women. This method would al so apply in the wider organisational environment. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
