Implicit and category-based allocations of decision-making power in majority-minority relations

Article Abstract:

A study of 59 subjects, with males and females in the ratio of 2:1, explored the decision-making power between the majority and minority groups. In the implementation of an implicit category-blind decision-making task, it was found that the minority groups favored a majority, but when a category-based decision rule was implemented, the majority group asked for a majority of votes from every group, and did not deprive the minority of the powers of veto. In voting for distributive decision-making powers, the majority group was split between equal and minority-favoring allocations.

The research suggests that under the circumstances women become concerned about being evaluated as a woman, not as an individual, inducing social identity threat, causing them to perform below their potential.
