Women have long been subjected to “Stereotype Threat ”. This psychological phenomenon leads people to underperform relative t o their potential abilities because of their group affiliation. Stereotype threat can occur whenever an individual is a member of a group that is be lieved to be “less effective” at a particular task compared to other g roups (e.g. women relative to men in competitive negotiations\, White Amer ican men relative to African American men on physical prowess\, etc.). Thi s means that women in competitive corporate and business school environmen ts tend to be disadvantaged relative to similarly qualified men. Here come s a solution! Professor Kinias will share insights from her new research s tudies showing that by facilitating women to reflect on and affirm their p ersonal values\, this substantially reduces the gender gap in a competitiv e business school environment. This positive reinforcement reduces perfect ionism\, which can interfere with their ability to perform to their potent ial. It is believed that this “value reflection activity” could reduce gender gaps wherever objective performance indicators show that men are o utperforming relative to similarly qualified women. This method would also apply in the wider organisational environment. The presentation will be f ollowed by a Q&A session.
