摘要：AbstractThis study examined the mediating effect of exposure to counterstereotypic examples in decreasing implicit stereotypical beliefs about sex role-typed jobs.One hundred and eighteen students (64 women and 54 men) in University of Tehran participated in two experiments voluntarily. Implicit stereotypical beliefs were measured by Implicit Associative Test (IAT). Participants were exposed with stereotypic (control group) and counterstereotypic (experiment group) examples. The same IAT program was used afterward in each group.Our result in first experiment is consistent with previous studies. Our second experiment's failure in producing a significant reduction in implicit stereotypes can be explained in different terms.
