144 female 22-61 yr old managers were asked to make causal attributions and give their impressions of a manager whose bogus personnel file they had read. The sex, occupation, and age of the file manager were systematically varied. Results from ANOVAs yielded only sex main effects. Bogus female managers were perceived to be more successful than males, and Ss attributed greater ability to them. Easier job demands and luck attributions were significantly more often used for male managers. Ss' impressions of female managers were also more positive than males. Results do not support the existence of sex-role prejudices on the part of women against women. (French abstract) (22 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
