The research investigated how word-specific gender stereotype information can be used during language comprehension. In a rating study, the gender stereotypes for 405 noun and noun compounds were assessed. From these norms, 32 words strongly stereotyped to refer mostly to males and 32 words strongly stereotyped to refer mostly to females were selected and used in a reading experiment. Comprehenders read pairs of sentences. The subject of the first sentence was a gender stereotyped word (e.g., executive or secretary). The subject of the second sentence was either the pronoun he or she. Reading time was significantly longer when gender of the pronoun mismatched the gender stereotype of the antecedent than when the genders of pronoun and antecedent matched. This gender mismatch effect occurred on the two regions immediately following the region containing the pronoun. The results indicated that word-specific gender stereotypes can influence coreference resolution of pronouns.
该研究调查了特定于单词的性别刻板印象信息在语言理解过程中是如何被使用的。在一项评级研究中，对405个名词和名词复合词的性别刻板印象进行了评估。从这些规范中，挑选出32个强烈刻板印象为主要指代男性的单词和32个强烈刻板印象为主要指代女性的单词，并用于一项阅读实验。理解者阅读句子对。第一句的主语是一个具有性别刻板印象的单词（例如，高管或秘书）。第二句的主语要么是代词“他”，要么是代词“她”。当代词的性别与先行词的性别刻板印象不匹配时，阅读时间显著长于代词和先行词性别匹配时。这种性别不匹配效应发生在包含代词的区域之后的两个区域。结果表明，特定于单词的性别刻板印象会影响代词的指代消解。
