The study revealed that when subjects perceived Alex as a male with a visible disability, they rated him higher in integrity and competence. Conversely, this effect disappeared for the female version of Alex, highlighting the gendered dynamics of perceived competence in negotiation contexts.
Women with invisible disabilities, particularly bipolar disorder, faced increased stigmatization, as they were viewed as both less competent and less integral compared to their male counterparts.
Despite organizational efforts to mitigate biases, deeply entrenched perceptions regarding the capabilities of disabled individuals persist, leading to discriminatory outcomes in hiring and promotion practices.
The research underscores the compounded discrimination faced by women with mental health disabilities, emphasizing the need for more nuanced understanding and strategies to combat workplace biases.
