Psychology of Women Quarterly, 28(2), 103-111. doi:10.1111/j.1471-6402.2004.00127.x This article reveals the disparities in the workplace due to gender stereotypes favoring men over women in executive positions. Women have a much more difficult path to obtain executive positions, and maintain them. This article helps by showing the number of high-level women in fortune 500 companies.

Young adults’ attitudes and reasoning about gender roles in The family context. Psychology of Women Quarterly, 36(3), 301313.doi:10.1177/0361684312444272 This study shows that even though the roles of men and women in society and the workplace have experienced a lot of change in the past few decades, there has been very little change in the family dynamic of men and women and the roles that society expects each to assume.

In contrast, stereotypes regarding women’s roles, and social responsibility regarding men’s traditional roles were used to support the maintenance of traditional role divisions.
