Researchers found that unsolicited, generic advice from either men or women leads to feelings of lower respect and power in the recipient, challenging traditional gender assumptions.
The study revealed that participants felt lesser power and status regardless of the advisor's gender, suggesting that the effects of unsolicited advice are broadly negative.
Women reported less anticipated stereotype threat when receiving unresponsive advice from other women compared to men, highlighting nuanced dynamics in gendered interactions.
The researchers emphasized the importance of 'responsive' advice, which involves understanding and validating the recipient's needs, as a more effective form of interaction.
