We explore how feedback shapes, and perpetuates, gender gaps in self-assessments. Participants in our experiment take tests of their ability across different domains. We elicit their beliefs of their performance before and after feedback. We _nd that, even after the provision of highly informative feedback, gender stereotypes in_uence posterior beliefs, beyond what a Bayesian model would predict. This is primarily because both men and women update their beliefs more positively in response to good news when it arrives in a more gender congruent domain (i.e. more male-typed domains for men, more female-typed domains for women), fueling persistence in gender gaps.

刻板印象和信念更新

我们探讨反馈如何塑造并延续自我评估中的性别差距。我们实验的参与者对他们在不同领域的能力进行了测试。我们在反馈前后征求他们对自己表现的看法。我们发现，即使在提供了信息丰富的反馈之后，性别刻板印象也会影响后验信念，超出贝叶斯模型的预测范围。这主要是因为当好消息到达性别更加一致的领域（即男性更多的男性类型领域，女性更多的女性类型领域）时，男性和女性都会更积极地更新他们的信念，从而促进性别的持久性差距。
