• Performance Attribution Bias: Bias that causes some people to be perceived as “naturally talented,” while others are presumed to have “gotten lucky”
• Competence / Likeability Trade-off Bias: Bias that produces expectations for women to be nurturing and care-taking and men to be assertive and action-oriented
