Foster, Mindi D.; Jackson, Lydia C.; Hartmann, Ryan; Woulfe, Shannon – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2004
Given the Rejection-Identification Model (Branscombe, Schmitt, & Harvey, 1999), which shows that perceiving discrimination to be pervasive is a negative experience, it was suggested that there would be conditions under which women would instead minimize the pervasiveness of discrimination. Study 1 (N= 91) showed that when women envisioned…

Levy, Jane C. – Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, 2007
In spite of the enormous power that women wield in the marketplace, the role of women in advertisements is not commensurate with women as a powerful group.
