Berdahl J. L., Uhlmann E. L., Bai F. (2015). Win-win: Female and Male Athletes from more Gender Equal Nations Perform better in International Sports Competitions Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 56, (pp1-3).
The present study provides the first evidence that increased gender equality in a society releases the human potential not only of women, but also of men. This research setting is the Olympic Games, the world's foremost sports competition and one of the few contexts in which men's and women's performance is fully segregated by gender and objectively measured at the highest levels.
