"The Women-Are-Wonderful Effect"

|"The Women-Are-Wonderful Effect"|
|:------:|
|"The idea that people are prejudiced against women has been a standard assumption both of social psychologists who have studied gender-related attitudes and stereotypes and of feminists committed to social change. Because the term prejudice generally refers to negative attitudes toward members of a social group, the issue we examine in this chapter is people’s attitudes toward women in the sense of their general evaluation of this social group....  Recent (*1994*) research thus suggests that both women and men evaluate women more positively than men - a finding that we dub the ***women-are-wonderful effect***. These findings are provocative in the light of claims concerning negative attitudes and stereotypes about women.|
