Trait stereotypes of men tend to be more fixed and negative than those of women. The current studies test whether stereotypes of men can be shifted through leveraging their social role as fathers. Trait attributes perceived to characterize women and moms were highly redundant, but those of men and dads were less so; moreover, men were perceived more negatively than dads, women, and moms (Study 1). Perceivers for whom the social role father was made salient rated men more similarly to dads, and no less similarly to men, and rated men more positively relative to a control condition (Study 2). Finally, among men, a threat to the category men resulted in greater opposition to benevolent social policies, but not if the social role father was primed (Study 3). Discussion focuses on positive consequences of increasing the psychological connection between men and fatherhood.
男性特征的刻板印象往往比女性更固定和负面。当前的研究测试了是否可以通过利用男性作为父亲的社会角色来改变这些刻板印象。被认为是女性和妈妈特征的特质属性高度冗余，但男性和爸爸的特质属性则不那么冗余；此外，男性的评价比爸爸、女性和妈妈更负面（研究 1）。对社会角色父亲突显的感知者将男性评价得更像爸爸，而不是更像男性，并且相对于控制条件，将男性评价得更积极（研究 2）。最后，在男性中，对男性类别构成威胁导致他们更反对仁慈的社会政策，但如果父亲的社会角色被激活则不会（研究 3）。讨论集中在增加男性与父亲身份之间心理联系的积极后果上。
