Garcia et al. (2010)

These data are from a study on gender discrimination. Participants were put with a file where a women was turned down promotion in favor of male colleague despite her being clearly more experimented and qualified. The authors manipulated the decision of the participant to this decision, either choosing not to challenge the decision (no protest), a request to reconsider based on individual qualities of the applicants (individual) and a request to reconsider based on abilities of women (collective).

All items were measured using scales constructed using items measured using Likert scales ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7).
