Interviewing While Pregnant

A study by researchers at Rice, Lawrence, and George Mason universities has concluded that pregnant women who interview for traditionally male-dominated positions face more hostility from interviewers than women who are not pregnant.  I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise but it’s an interesting study to read.  See the blurb about the report at Businessweek online, or read the full report titled “Hostile and Benevolent Reactions Toward Pregnant Women: Complimentary Interpersonal Punishments and Rewards That Maintain Traditional Roles”, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology 92 (6), pages 1499-1511.  The journal is available online through the Simmons Library catalog.
