Abstract

Women’s everyday experiences of benevolent sexism include being praised for loving men (heterosexual intimacy), praised for caregiving (complementary gender differentiation), and being overhelped (protective paternalism). We investigated women’s perceptions of partners and their wellbeing in the context of self-reported experiences of benevolent sexism in their relationships with men. Integrated data analysis on three community samples of women in Australia (total N = 724) indicated that women’s experiences of protective paternalism were associated with greater psychological distress, lower relationship satisfaction, and perceiving partners as less reliable and more patronizing and undermining. By contrast, experiencing heterosexual intimacy was associated with perceiving partners as more reliable, less patronizing and undermining, and with greater relationship satisfaction. Mixed associations emerged for experiencing complementary gender differentiation, including lower psychological distress and also lower relationship wellbeing. These findings advance understanding of the specific costs and benefits of benevolent sexism in relationships between women and men.

女性在与男性的亲密关系中遭遇的善意性别歧视与个人和人际关系福祉的成本和收益有关
女性日常的善意性别歧视经历包括因爱男性而受到赞美(异性亲密关系)、因照顾他人而受到赞美(互补性别的差异)以及因过度帮助而受到赞美(保护性家长作风)。我们调查了女性在与男性关系中自我报告的善意性别歧视经历的背景下,对伴侣及其福祉的看法。对澳大利亚三个社区的女性样本(总人数= 724)进行的综合数据分析显示,女性的保护性家长作风经历与更大的心理压力、更低的关系满意度、认为伴侣不那么可靠以及更多的袒护和破坏有关。与此相反,异性亲密关系的经历与认为伴侣更可靠、更少袒护和破坏以及更高的关系满意度有关。在经历互补性别的差异时,出现了混合关联,包括较低的心理困扰和较低的关系幸福感。这些发现加深了人们对善意的性别歧视在男女关系中的具体成本和收益的理解。

期刊介绍: Social Psychological and Personality Science (SPPS) is a distinctive journal in the fields of social and personality psychology that focuses on publishing brief empirical study reports, typically limited to 5000 words. The journal's mission is to disseminate research that significantly contributes to the advancement of social psychological and personality science. It welcomes submissions that introduce new theories, present empirical data, propose innovative methods, or offer a combination of these elements. SPPS also places a high value on replication studies, giving them serious consideration regardless of whether they confirm or challenge the original findings, with a particular emphasis on replications of studies initially published in SPPS. The journal is committed to a rapid review and publication process, ensuring that research can swiftly enter the scientific discourse and become an integral part of ongoing academic conversations.
