Hellman et al. (1998) had pairs of men and women work on two-person tasks in which the woman was always assigned a leadership role. The women in the study were
 
  a. more confident in their leadership ability when they felt they had, at least in part, earned the position on meritthan when they were assigned to it based on their gender.
 b. less satisfied with their performance on the task when they felt they had been appointed leader based on meritthan when they were assigned to it based on gender.
 c. more negative in their appraisals of their performance than their male partners when gender was in any waypart of the decisional process for assigning leaders.
 d. likely to perceive the leadership selection process as unfair to the extent that their gender contributed in anyway to their leadership position.
