Does dressing in line with societal clothing rules make a woman appear more professional and competent? We used a within-subjects design and tested if participants rated women dressed in compliance with school and workplace clothing rules more positively than women not dressed in compliance with rules. Participants (N = 89) at a mid-sized mid-western university rated 10 pictures of women captured from the internet on 11 attributes. Participants rated the five women dressed following clothing rules higher on a composite measure of positive attributes (intelligent, competent, powerful, organized, efficient, and professional), F(1, 86) = 68.92, p < .001 η = .45. Participant's ratings did not correlate with their own self-reported levels of sexism. Participants' gender was not a significant correlate. Our findings indicate that how students perceive women significantly relates to dressing in code. Participants rated women in less revealing and less tight clothing more positively.
穿着符合社会着装规范会让女性显得更专业、更有能力吗？我们采用了被试内设计，测试参与者对穿着符合学校和职场着装规范的女性的评价是否比对穿着不符合规范的女性更积极。一所位于中西部的中型大学的参与者（N = 89）对从网上获取的10张女性照片的11个属性进行了评分。参与者在积极属性（聪明、有能力、有权力、有条理、有效率和专业）的综合衡量指标上，对按照着装规范穿着的五名女性的评分更高，F(1, 86) = 68.92，p <.001，η =.45。参与者的评分与他们自己自我报告的性别歧视水平无关。参与者的性别不是一个显著的相关因素。我们的研究结果表明，学生对女性的看法与着装规范有显著关系。参与者对穿着不那么暴露、不那么紧身的女性评价更高。
