Project Description

Summary:

Do men incur a psychological cost when they are outperformed by a woman

competitor? We conduct a laboratory experiment that allows us to measure this

cost. The experiment is conducted in both the US and China. In our Chinese

sample, men are willing to pay more to hide the fact that they have performed

worse than another individual than women are, while there is no gender difference

in the US. In China, women are willing to pay more to hide poor performance when

losing to another woman than to a man, while in the US, the opposite pattern is

observed.
