Resumo

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a influencia dos estereótipos na discriminação contra a mulher. Concretamente, verificou-se o efeito do sexo do candidato (homem vs. mulher), do status referente à licença parental (exerce o direito vs. renuncia o direito) e dos estereótipos de competência, sociabilidade e moralidade nessa discriminação. Consistente com estudos prévios, o sexo do candidato e o status referente à licença parental interagem e juntos influenciam a discriminação contra a mulher (Estudo 1, F(1,229) = 22.45, p < .001). Por sua vez, a interação tripla entre gênero do candidato, status referente à licença parental e as três dimensões dos estereótipos (Estudo 2, F(4, 587) = 2.73, p = .030, ƞ² = .018) revelou que a mulher que disfrutou da licença parental foi avaliada mais positivamente nas três dimensões estereotípicas quando comparada à mulher que tinha renunciado o direito à licença e, ao mesmo tempo, ela foi mais mal avaliada na dimensão de competência quando comparada ao homem que exercia o mesmo direito (Estudo 2, N = 312).
