Questions: Question 3 (2 points) Recall that Glick and Fiske (2001a, 2001b) studied positive and negative stereotypes about women in 19 different countries. They found that a) benevolent sexism cannot coexist with hostile sexism. b) ambivalent sexist attitudes are easy for people to change. c) positive stereotypes can have troublesome consequences. d) negative stereotypes have troublesome consequences, but positive stereotypes do not.

The answer is c) positive stereotypes can have troublesome consequences.

This option is incorrect. Glick and Fiske's research on ambivalent sexism actually highlights that benevolent sexism often coexists with hostile sexism. They propose that these two forms of sexism are complementary and can reinforce each other.

This option is incorrect. Changing ambivalent sexist attitudes is generally challenging because they are deeply ingrained and often socially reinforced. Glick and Fiske's work suggests that these attitudes are persistent and not easily altered.

This option is correct. Glick and Fiske's research indicates that positive stereotypes, such as those found in benevolent sexism, can be problematic. While they may seem flattering, they often reinforce traditional gender roles and contribute to gender inequality.

This option is incorrect. While negative stereotypes certainly have harmful effects, Glick and Fiske's research emphasizes that positive stereotypes can also have negative consequences, as they can perpetuate gender inequality and limit individuals' opportunities.
