Sexist comments are not perceived equally in the eyes of women. We extend previous research by examining the degree to which multiple types of potentially sexist comments made by multiple types of men are perceived as sexist. Further, we examine the degree to which three possible mediators--prototypicality, perceived intent, and interdependence--explained these effects. Female undergraduate students (N = 248) were randomly assigned to read a scenario in which a hostile sexist, benevolent sexist, or objectifying comment was made by one of three types of men: a stranger, their boss, or their boyfriend. Results demonstrate that hostile sexism was perceived as more sexist than benevolent sexism or objectification. Comments made by boyfriends were also rated as less sexist than those made by bosses or strangers. Furthermore, perceptions of prototypicality of the comment or perpetrator and perceived intent to harm mediated the effect of study manipulations on perceptions of sexism.
在女性眼中，性别歧视言论的感受并不相同。我们通过研究多种类型的男性做出的多种潜在性别歧视言论在多大程度上被视为性别歧视，扩展了先前的研究。此外，我们考察了三种可能的中介因素——典型性、感知意图和相互依赖——在多大程度上解释了这些影响。将248名本科女生随机分组，让她们阅读情景描述，其中三种类型的男性之一（陌生人、老板或男朋友）做出了敌意性别歧视、善意性别歧视或物化言论。结果表明，敌意性别歧视比善意性别歧视或物化行为被视为更具性别歧视性。男朋友做出的评论也比老板或陌生人做出的评论被评为性别歧视性更低。此外，对评论或行为者典型性的认知以及感知到的伤害意图，介导了研究操纵对性别歧视认知的影响。
