Okay, I need your help! with this word! Agentic - It was used in this context: Some candidates emphasized their agentic qualitities–that is, technical competence, independence, and leadership, ability. Others emphasized communal qualitices–interpersonal, and social skills. Compared to agentic male candidates and agentic female candidates were perceived as high incompetence but low in social skills. In addition, when judging how hirable the candidates were, participants tended to weigh perceptions of the candidates competence more than their judgements about their social skills–except when judging agentic women for agentic women, the participants de-emphasized these candidates strong suit–their competence–and instead weighed their (lack of) social skills more heavily. This is from a book called Social Psychology that my cousin Lijing Zhang is studying. I just like to read it for fun! But sometimes I could not find this word anywhere, not even Wikipedia.
