| Abstract: | This article examines the stereotype incongruity of women and leaders by studying cross-temporal perceptions of change in women's roles and leadership demands. First, participants judged a target group in a specified year in the past, the present and the future with regard to gender-stereotypic traits. Second, participants assessed the same target groups in a future society in which the role distribution between the sexes was described as traditional, same-as-today, or equal. The results show that the perceived incongruity between the leader stereotype and the female stereotype is a dynamic phenomenon. Participants' beliefs demonstrated declining of the perceived incongruity between leaders and women because of a perceived change in women's roles. |
