Exposito, Francisca; Herrera, M. Carmen; Moya, Miguel; Glick, Peter – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2010
We examined how Spanish women's benevolent sexism (a sex-role attitude) affects their perceptions of whether a hypothetical husband will feel threatened by a wife's success at work. In a social perception study, female participants (N = 210) read a vignette in which a husband and his wife argued over her job promotion. Women's benevolent sexism…

Analyzed data on employment after marriage for a cohort of women born around 1938.
