Any woman who has applied for a job in a male-dominated field faces a quandary: Does she play up her feminine strengths, such as being supportive or a good listener, or emphasize traits more associated with men, such as assertiveness? 在男性主宰的行业，女性求职时常常会面临这样一种困惑：应该发挥女性的特长，例如乐于助人和善于倾听，还是应该强调更多与男性有关的品质，例如果断？ It turns out that showcasing “manliness” is the better strategy, according to a study in the latest issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly. 最新一期《女性心理学季刊》（Psychology of Women Quarterly）发表的一项研究显示，展现“男子气概”是更好的策略。 In a laboratory experiment, a group of more than 600 undergrads from Michigan State evaluated a group of women applying for an engineering management job. They concluded that women who described themselves using traits traditionally associated with men — independence, or a focus on achievement — were seen as more fitting for the job than those who emphasized traits often seen as more feminine (warmth, supportiveness, and nurturing). 在实验中，来自密歇根州立大学（Michigan State）的600多名本科生，对一组申请工程管理职位的女性进行了评估。最终的评估结果是，他们认为，使用通常与男性相关的特征——如独立或注重业绩等——来描述自己的女性，比强调更女性化的品质（热情、乐于助人和体贴等）的女性求职者，更适合这个岗位。 |
