摘     要:Under-representation of qualified women in contributing ideas to the group is pervasive in many workplaces, especially in male-stereotyped fields. We develop and test using laboratory experiments an easily-implementable default (opt-out) approach to reducing this gender gap in environments with varying gender stereotypes. We consider both non-merit based defaults where people are randomly defaulted to the leading position to contribute (from which they can opt-out), as well as merit-based defaults where people’s default position is determined by their skill and ability. We find that defaults have large and significant effects on people's willingness to contribute ideas, regardless of whether they are merit-based. We find little evidence, however, that defaults mitigate stereotype bias in the willingness to contribute. In particular, defaults lead women to be more likely to contribute in all areas, but still relatively less in male- than female-stereotyped environments.
