Can ideology, as a widespread "expectation creator," impact economic decisions? In two studies we investigated the influence of the Benevolent Sexism (BS) ideology (which dictates that men should provide for passive and nurtured women) on women's economic decision-making. In Study 1, using a Dictator Game in which women decided how to share amounts of money with men, results of a Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis show that higher endorsement of BS and contextual expectations of benevolence were associated with more very unequal offers. Similarly, in an Ultimatum Game in which women received monetary offers from men, Study 2's Generalized Linear Mixed Model's results revealed that BS led women to reject more very unequal offers. If women's endorsement of BS ideology and expectations of benevolence prove contrary to reality, they may strike back at men. These findings show that BS ideology creates expectations that shape male-female relationships in a way that could be prejudicial to men.
作为一种广泛存在的“期望创造者”，意识形态会影响经济决策吗？在两项研究中，我们调查了仁慈性别歧视（BS）意识形态（即规定男性应为被动且需要呵护的女性提供支持）对女性经济决策的影响。在研究1中，我们使用独裁者博弈，让女性决定如何与男性分配金钱，广义线性混合模型分析结果显示，对BS的更高认同以及对仁慈的情境期望与更多极不平等的分配提议相关。同样，在研究2的最后通牒博弈中，女性从男性那里收到金钱提议，广义线性混合模型的结果表明，BS导致女性拒绝更多极不平等的提议。如果女性对BS意识形态的认同和对仁慈的期望被证明与现实不符，她们可能会反击男性。这些发现表明，BS意识形态所创造的期望以一种可能对男性不利的方式塑造了男女关系。
