(2017) : Sexism in Intimate Contexts. How Romantic Relationships Help Explain the Origins, Functions, and Consequences of Sexist Attitudes In: Sibley, Chris G.; Barlow, Fiona Kate (Hg.): The Cambridge handbook of the psychology of prejudice: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, S. 321-343
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316161579.014 Abstract: In this chapter, we take a look at the central role that dynamics within romantic relationships play in the emergence, functions, and consequences of hostile and benevolent sexism toward women. We begin by examining men's endorsement of hostile and benevolent sexism. We first outline the difficulties that men's hostile sexism creates in romantic relationships and consider how these deficits necessitate benevolent sexism. We then consider the ways men's benevolent sexism functions within intimate relationships to facilitate men's intimacy needs while maintaining and promoting their power. In the second half of the chapter, we turn to women's endorsement of benevolent and hostile sexism. We review evidence showing that the relationship structure promised by benevolent sexism is appealing to women but has harmful personal and relationship consequences for them. We then offer a more speculative account of the role and impact of women's endorsement of hostile sexism. At the en d of the chapter, we consider other ways in which relationship processes can inform our understanding of sexist attitudes toward women and outline important future research directions.

(2016): Handbook of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. Sexism. Unter Mitarbeit von Julia C. Becker und Chris G.. Sibley. Second edition. Hove, UK: Psychology Press
Abstract: In this chapter, we first introduce the foundation of sexist beliefs: gender stereotypes. We then go on with presenting an overview of contemporary forms of sexism—with a strong focus on what are referred to in the research literature as 'benevolent sexist beliefs' (or the oft-employed acronym BS) and its negative consequences for women. Furthermore, we elaborate on sexism in romantic relationships in detail with a focus on the trade-off that it seems women may make in endorsing benevolent sexism in their romantic relationships and in broader social contexts (such as in the workplace). Finally, we outline direct and indirect consequences of sexism and introduce research on confronting and reducing sexism. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

(2015): Young Women’s Anger in Romantic Relationships. Gendered Rules and Power. In: Journal of Family Issues 38 (13), S. 1825-1851. DOI: 10.1177/0192513X15592029
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0192513X15592029 Abstract: We used a social constructionist and feminist framework to examine how young women negotiate gendered rules for anger in their romantic relationships and how such negotiations are associated with women’s power in these relationships. We analyzed 24 interviews using a grounded-theory methodology. Our analyses indicated five women resisted gendered rules for anger as they accepted their anger, attributed shared responsibility for their anger, and expressed their anger externally and directly. The other 19 young women followed gendered rules for anger as they distanced themselves from their anger, ambivalently attributed responsibility for their anger, and kept their anger in and expressed it indirectly. Women who resisted gendered rules for anger narrated being engaged in egalitarian relationships, while women who followed gendered rules for anger seemed to participate in nonegalitarian relationships. The findings of this study offer a feminist conceptualization of women⍊ s ange r in terms of social rules for anger experience and expression.

(2015): The prosocial versus proself power holder. How power influences sacrifice in romantic relationships. In: Personality & social psychology bulletin 41 (6), S. 779-790. DOI: 10.1177/0146167215579054
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0146167215579054 Abstract: Romantic partners often have to sacrifice their interests to benefit their partner or to maintain the relationship. In the present work, we investigated whether relative power within the relationship plays an important role in determining the extent to which partners are likely to sacrifice. Drawing from both classic theories and recent research on power, we tested two competing predictions on the relationship between power and sacrifice in romantic relationships. We tested whether (a) power is negatively related to sacrifice and (b) power is positively related to sacrifice. Furthermore, we also explored whether the association between power and sacrifice is moderated by commitment and inclusion of the other in the self. To test our hypotheses, we used different methodologies, including questionnaires, diary studies, and videotaped interactions. Results across the five studies (N = 1,088) consistently supported the hypothesis that power is negatively related to tendencies to sacrifice in close relationships. zitiert von 21
