Replication Data for: Neural correlates of sexist-related criticism: Associations between perceptions of sexism and prefrontal activity

Sexism is a widespread form of gender discrimination which includes remarks based on gender stereotypes. However, little is known about the neural basis underlying the experience of sexist-related criticism and how perceptions of criticism and sexism influence these neural processes. The present study aims to investigate whether perceptions of sexism influence neural processing of receiving sexist-related criticism. Participants (N = 67) read experimental vignettes describing scenarios of criticism from different sources while near-infrared spectroscopy recordings were made to measure the hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortex.
