Abstract:

Gender inequality persists in the workplace, and women’s representation in leadership positions remains low. While numerous studies have investigated gender differences in leadership roles and gender stereotypes that relate to these differences, limited research has focused on children’s gender-related leadership cognition. Children form their gender-related beliefs and stereotypes early in life. However, existing findings suggest that children’s views on the relationship between leadership and gender may be complex. This meta-analysis study aims to systematically test what previous findings have shown on children and adolescents’ gender-related leadership cognition, such as their preferences for leaders, expectations of leadership quality, and motivation to assume leadership roles. Also, this study seeks to identify factors that moderate their gender-related leadership cognition, including participant-related characteristics (e.g., gender and age) and research-related variables (e.g., study design and targets’ age).

Speaker’s Biography: HE Chuting Connie is a Ph.D. student in Gender Studies (Psychology) at CUHK and a lab member of the Gender Development Lab at CUHK. Her research interests focus on leadership/occupational gender stereotypes and prejudice toward gender/sexual minorities.
