High-Educated Women and Stereotypes -- A Study of Gender Norms

Abstract

This study uses the research framework of BIAS map: the behaviors from intergroup affect and stereotypes to study the discrimi-nation of Chinese female doctoral students. According to previous research, warm stereotypes lead to an active or passive propensity for pos-itive behavior, Competitive stereotypes can lead to negative behavioral tendencies and reduce altruistic helping behaviors. Groups divided by these two quadrants also lead to different behavioral tendencies. This study used this theory to measure the stereotypes and behavioral ten-dencies of different student groups, and to illustrate the awkward situation of Chinese female doctoral students. On the basis of questionnaire survey, focus group interview is used to make up the deficiency. The origin and formation mechanism of the stereotype of Chinese female doctors are studied experimentally. The future needs to be compared with other areas.
