Abstract

Gender role is known to influence male and female behaviors across cultures and social environments. Yet women are less likely to confront in terms of gender roles and identifies potential covariates that influence the subjects’ likelihood to confront. We conducted online research with 52 participants from various backgrounds in the United States. The results reveal that the sex of the participants indeed significantly predicts their likelihood to confront, such that women are less likely to confront under most conditions. Besides, the participants verbally insulted by the aggressor are more likely to confront than those nonverbally mistreated. Their views on benevolent sexism and the presence of a companion influence the likelihood to confront. Our findings may benefit sex and gender education at school; promote feminist movements for equality between two sexes in incomes and occupations.
