人们把女性视为一种类型,把男性视为多种类型
People think of women as one thing, men as many
一项发表于 Trends in Cognitive Sciences 的观点文章提出,人们对男女的概念表征并不对称:在性别范畴框架下,男女被描述为平衡、对称的对立面,但在缺乏该框架的自然情境中,女性作为性别范畴更突出,被表征得更狭窄,男性则被赋予更广泛的属性,甚至包括传统上与女性相关的温暖特质。
People seem to represent men and women in a conceptually balanced manner: for example, seeing women as warm (not agentic) and men as agentic (not warm). Emerging evidence, however, suggests people might represent them as imbalanced: women as one thing and men as many things. We argue that people describe men and women as balanced, symmetrical opposites when thinking of them in terms of their gender category—a gender framing often evoked by common methods. However, in the absence of this framing (e.g., in naturalistic contexts), women stand out as a gender category more than men, creating conceptual imbalance. In these contexts, people represent women more narrowly while affording men a wider array of attributes—even attributes traditionally linked to women (e.g., warmth).
