Abstract
This research paper examines the effect of an ambiguous allegation of sexism on perceived female agency and competency when relevant information about the allegation is lacking. The study specifically explores the role of ambiguity in shaping perceptions of female agency and competency. Participants (N=196) were divided in two groups, where one read a vignette about an ambiguous allegation of sexism and the other did not. Both groups were asked to fill out questions about perceived female agency and competency. Contrary to my expectations, the findings did not reveal significant effects, highlighting that there might be more intricacy to the ambiguous sexism allegations and their effect. This research aims to contribute to a better understanding of gender biases by researching the effect of ambiguous sexism allegations. It underscores the need for continued exploration in order to better comprehend the factors influencing perceptions of female agency and competency.
