Impact of patriarchal orientation on the perception of injustice against women

Abstract

We designed a trust-based game that would simulate an environment to observe the reaction of male and female participants towards female injustice. The redistribution of rewards by the participants is used as a proxy for measuring the perception of injustice towards women. A two-by-three game has been designed for the groups: *Control Group: Male and Female participants are paired against a female opponent. *Treatment Group: Male and Female participants are paired against a male opponent. *Moderation Group: Male and Female participants can choose their opponent from a list of 4 opponents (comprising two male and two female profiles)
