I didn’t look hard enough for more evidence for this post, and I apologize.
I’ve recently turned up:
A study on clapping which indicated that people believe very strongly that they can distinguish between the sounds of clapping produced by men and women, when in reality they’re slightly better than chance. The relevant section starts at the bottom of the 4th page of that PDF. This is weak evidence that beliefs about gender influence a wide array of situations, often unconsciously.
This paper on sex-role beliefs and sex-difference knowledge in schoolteachers may be relevant, but it’s buried behind a pay-wall.
Lots of studies like this one have documented how gender prejudices subconsciously affect behavior.
And here’s a precise discussion of exactly the effect I was describing. Naturally, it too is behind a pay-wall.
