Learning to detect sexism: An evaluation of the effects of a brief video-based intervention using ROC analysis.

ABSTRACT: Empirical evidence for the effectiveness of interventions teaching lay people how to recognize sexism is scarce. The purpose of the present study was, thus, twofold: The first aim was to evaluate a brief intervention using a lecture-like educational video on how to recognize subtle sexism.
