Description
Is two better than one (or three)? In this seminar, Loyd explores the
dynamics of groups with minority duos (such as two women in a group of
men). Though many believe that it is worse to be the “only one” in a
group, this work finds that men evaluate women more stereotypically when
they are in a duo than when there are one or three in a group. In fact,
women in duos are rated as contributing less leadership and having
fewer skills. In three experimental studies, Loyd looks at how being
part of a minority duo can present significant challenges for women.
