Durch die Forschungen haben wir gesehen, dass Quoten ein sehr gutes Instrument sind, um Frauen in bessere Positionen zu bringen. Eine Quote ist außerdem gut, um Frauen dazu zu bringen, sich für bestimmte Jobs zu bewerben.

In unserer Studie evaluieren wir eine milde Intervention psychologischer Natur und gehen mit Power Priming auf beide Geschlechter ein. Das verändert auch das Verhalten von Männern.
