mloxtonDear #socialscience and #psychology people
Please explain to me what's going on here.
Some guys set up a challenge in which they ask (random convenience sampled) guys if they think they could beat a #woman #tennis champion. Of those that say they could, they pick a few and tennis is played. It goes about as you might think, with the woman beating them handily.
What I want to know, is what those volunteer guys were thinking. Did they honestly think they could beat her, or were they following a macho script in which everyone expects a guy to confidently lay claim to better skills at anything than any woman, or is there another motive?
| Dude really thinks he can beat her | |
| He is following a script | |
| He just wants to meet her | |
| He just wants to play tennis |
