Research

Alice Eagly has researched various topics in psychology including sex differences, leadership styles, attitudes, and feminism.

One of her most important contributions to the field of psychology is her theory on role congruity, the belief that prejudice arises when one social groups’ stereotype mismatches their valued success in other social roles. That is, society views one social groups role to be exclusive to that group in particular, and that venturing outside this could not be a successful endeavor, thus creating prejudicial attitudes.

This theory has been most noteworthy in her research regarding sex differences and leadership among women in the workplace and in the home. Much of her research focuses on feminist ideas and upward mobility in both the workforce and in traditional gender roles for women. Her contributions in these areas of psychology have illuminated issues concerning gender stereotypes in modern American society.
