Do women tend to devalue(贬低)the worth of their work? Do they apply different standards to rewarding their own work more critically than they do to rewarding the work of others? These were the questions asked by Michigan State University psychologists Lawrence Messe and Charlene Callahan-Levy. Past experiments had shown that when women were asked to decide how much to pay themselves and other people for the same job, they paid themselves less. Following up on this finding, Messe and Callahan-Levy designed experiments to lest several popular explanations of why women tend to get less in pay situations.
One theory the psychologists tested was that women judge their own work more harshly than that of others. The subjects for the experiment testing this theory were men and women from the Michigan State undergraduate student body. The job the subjects were asked to perform for pay was an opinion questionnaire(调查表)requiring a number of short essays on campus-related issues. After completing the questionnaire, some subjects were given six dollars in bills and change and were asked to decide payment for themselves. Others were given the same amount and were asked to decide payment for another subject who had also completed the questionnaire.
The psychologists found that, as in earlier experiments, the women paid themselves less than the men paid themselves. They also found that the women paid themselves less than they paid other women and less than the men paid the women. The differences were substantial. The average paid to women by themselves was $2.97. The average paid to men by themselves was $4.06. The average paid to women by others was $ 4.37. In spite of the differences, the psychologists found that the men and the women in the experiment evaluated their own performances on the questionnaire about equally and better than the expected performances of others.
On the basis of these findings, Messe and Callahan Levy concluded that women’s attachment of a comparatively low monetary value to their work cannot be based entirely on their judgment of their own ability.
How is the research of Messe and Callahan-Levy related to earlier experiments in the same field?
选项
A、It suggests a need to discard methods used in earlier experiments.
B、It tends to weaken the assumptions on which earlier experiments were designed.
C、It suggests that the problem revealed in earlier experiments may be more widespread than previously thought.
D、It helps to explain a phenomenon revealed in earlier experiments.
答案
D
解析
本题为细节推理题,提问的是Messe和Callahan—Levy二人的研究与这一领域前人的实验有何联系。第三段第一句指出,心理学家的发现与以往的研究结果相同,女性要求的薪水比男性低。可见,两位心理学家的实验进一步证实了以往的研究结果。所以,选项D)为正确答案。
