In the experiment, participants watched one of the illustration of nurse in a white coat, a pink coat, or a blue coat. Then participants completed gender related trait scales. As a result, participants rated female nurses as highly agentic (competent) and communal (warm). These impressions were stronger in white coat conditions than in pink and blue coat conditions.
