Men with sexist views 'earn more'
Men who grow up thinking women should stay at home may be labelled "old-fashioned" - but could end up well ahead in the salary stakes.

A US study, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, suggests that they will consistently out-earn more "modern-thinking" men.
On average, this meant an extra $8,500 (£4,722) a year.
One UK psychologist said men inclined to wield power in their relationships might also do this at work.




The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Florida, was conducted on a large scale, with 12,686 men and women interviewed in 1979, when they were aged between 14 and 22, and three times in the following two decades, the last time in 2005.
The researchers asked them whether they believed a woman's place was in the home, or whether the employment of women was likely to lead to higher rates of juvenile delinquency.
Predictably, more men tended to hold these views than women, although the gap has narrowed significantly over time.
However, when the men were asked about their salaries, another gap emerged, with those holding "traditional" views earning significantly more.
Conversely, women who held the opposite view did earn slightly more, on average $1,500 (£833) more than women with "traditional" views.
Dr Timothy Judge, one of the researchers, said: "More traditional people may be seeking to preserve the historical separation of work and domestic roles - our results prove that is, in fact, the case."



Dr Magdalena Zawisza, a psychologist from Winchester University, said that there were a number of theories which might explain the difference.
She said: "It could be that more traditionally-minded men are interested in power, both in terms of access to resources - money in this case - and also in terms of a woman who is submissive.
"Another theory suggests that employers are more likely to promote men who are the sole earner in preference to those who do not - they recognise that they need more support for their families, because they are the breadwinner."

Single women earn less than everybody else. I doubt the loving intentions of higher management have anything to do with it.

Exactly Tuff. :yes: Otherwise my wife would be making more than she because she's the sole breadwinner in our family.

I don't know about you, but I got 6 mil when I sold mine. Something about "primary breadwinner" and a bunch of other stuff..

And? We all know the world is controlled by old Protestant white males (like God intended) It should comes as no surprise that they would allocate funds to men who thought like them.

I actually told the story of my first in the front room but I cannot find the thread :shrug:

As is often the case, what came first, the hen or the egg?

My point is:

A) Does men who earn more have more sexist views?
B) Does people with more sexist views earn more?

There is a difference, and I dont see this study clarifying it, so what's the point?

Once they get funding for the next study, it will all become clear...maybe.

hehe...

Further: Men who earn more can afford to have more sexist views, as they can more often afford their wife to stay at home, no?

Also, people who earn more are generally more conservativa than people who earn less, this has been a fact for, well thousands of years?

:logic:


So again, what is the point of this research?

And what will their next project be, researching the colour of clouds?

Speaking of silly research, I liked this one.

Turns out, if you scare easily you are more likely to be right wing.

Real men vote left wing. At least that's the spin I'm choosing to put on it. ~;p

They won't get the funding because the sexist sports coach down the hall has gotten all the cold hard cash. :laugh4:

=][=

Is there a link between what jobs (tradesmen, mechanics, stockbrockers) may also hold a larger percentage of these conservative views and where the money is found?

If the callous liberals knew what paranoid conservatives wanted to do to them, maybe they wouldn't be so callous. They wouldn't be so quick to throw away their gun rights.:sweatdrop:

With the wifey at home sorting everything else out they are free to concentrate on work and be more successful!

basically agree with what kadagar said, its more that the people with sexist views make more effort to earn more money (work harder or pick more rewarding careers...) than sexism actually having a direct influence on thier pay...

I find this sexist. Only men earn more with sexist views?
