Do&nbsp;these linguistic devices actually reduce biases that favor men over&nbsp;women, gays, lesbians, and transgender individuals? The current&nbsp;article explores this question with 3 large-scale experiments in&nbsp;Sweden, which formally incorporated a gender-neutral pronoun&nbsp;into its language alongside established gendered pronouns equivalent&nbsp;to he and she. The evidence shows that compared with masculine&nbsp;pronouns, use of gender-neutral pronouns decreases the&nbsp;mental salience of males. This shift is associated with individuals&nbsp;expressing less bias in favor of traditional gender roles and categories,&nbsp;as reflected in more favorable attitudes toward women&nbsp;and LGBT individuals in public life. Additional analyses reveal similar&nbsp;patterns for feminine pronouns. The influence of both pronouns&nbsp;is more automatic than controlled.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the interested&nbsp;readers the manuscript contains&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/content\/suppl\/2019\/07\/31\/1908156116.DCSupplemental\">supplemental material<\/a>&nbsp;with more details on the data collection and analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second EDI &#8220;online awareness &amp; training activity\u201d In this second event, we would like to bring your attention and raise a debate on the possible impact of the\u00a0use of an\u00a0inclusive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2921,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-cover.php","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":0,"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2923","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2923"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3029,"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2923\/revisions\/3029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/members.ift.uam-csic.es\/ed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
