A recent study delves into the dynamics of gender, race, and nonverbal displays of power within the workplace.
White women in high-power poses are perceived as more masculine and less feminine than Black women in the same poses.
The findings suggest that White women are perceived more masculine, less feminine and less desirable as hires.
White women exhibiting powerful bodily displays (e.g., a wide stance and their hands on their hip) were evaluated as more masculine than Black women engaging in the same displays.
White women of both races experienced more hostile sexism when in high-power (vs. low-power) poses; this effect was just more pronounced for White women.
The study sheds light on how stereotypes and biases can influence the evaluation of professional women.
