A regulatory fit occurs when an outcome is presented in gain frames\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunder a promotion focus and in loss frames under a prevention focus. Combining\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eresearch on regulatory focus and research on stereotype threat it is argued that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eregulatory fit may result from stereotype threat (loss frame) under a prevention focus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand from the absence of stereotype threat (gain frame) under a promotion focus. In\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eline with previous research it is proposed that regulatory fit a) enhances motivation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Studies 1 and 2) and b) creates a feeling right experience that increases the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epersuasiveness of external stimuli (Study 3). In all three experiments regulatory fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewas operationalized as experiencing stereotype threat when under a prevention focus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor, respectively, experiencing the absence of stereotype threat when under a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epromotion focus. Further, women¿s aspirations to engage in a leadership role were\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eassessed. In Studies 1 and 2 it was shown that women¿s motivation to occupy a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eleadership role was enhanced in the regulatory fit conditions compared to women in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe nonfit conditions. Study 3 demonstrated that a stimulus (i.e., role model) was more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epersuasive under regulatory fit. Women experiencing regulatory fit compared to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewomen in the nonfit conditions were more persuaded by role models, showing more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einterest in a leadership role when confronted with a positive model and less interest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhen confronted with a negative model. These studies show that stereotype threat can\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eelicit regulatory fit, which in turn affects women¿s leadership aspirations. Future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edirections and limitations are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640209620\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640209620","offer_id":39441015373917,"sku":"9783640209620","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/cf6f8acc-6fb5-4f6e-adfa-124c9679120e.jpg?v=1777613660","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/regulatory-fit-from-stereotype-threat-enhancing-womens-leadership-aspirations-von-anke-gorzig","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
