Thank you for sharing my research! I hope you find the paper interesting and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. :)

This may be applicable to inter-group interactions across other group boundaries. For ed policy-makers wanting to address gender inequality, results suggest both co-ed and single-gender schooling have costs and benefits, calling for contextual solutions with rigorous evaluation.

Using an original survey and full records of student assignments, I show that co-ed students express higher support for policies implying sympathy with gender out-groups, but also exhibit larger gender gaps in political engagement and more gendered perceptions of politicians.

I present evidence that each dimension can be distinctly shaped by a socialization environment, leveraging a natural experiment in Korea: the quasi-random assignment of students to co-ed and single-gender schools.

The paper theorizes that stereotyping and sympathy may be separate dimensions of out-group attitudes: Stereotyping refers to 'having generalized beliefs about a group of people regarding their traits', while sympathy refers to 'feeling concern for welfare of another person.' (p4)

My paper "Stereotyping Women with Sympathy" is now available on Political Behavior. It demonstrates that mixed-gender environments lead to sympathetic but stereotyping gender attitudes, while single-gender environments produce less sympathetic but less stereotyping attitudes. Link: rdcu.be/egQ6o
