Although women drivers engage in fewer risky behaviors and have a lower involvement in traffic accidents than men, there is a commonly held stereotype that they are bad drivers. To understand this perception, various psychosocial factors related to sexism have been studied. However, very little is known about sexist attitudes towards women drivers, especially when studied through implicit attitude models. The aim of this study was to understand implicit and explicit sexist attitudes towards women drivers. A sample of N = 104 participants from Mar del Plata, Argentina, completed a stimulus classification task using response times to measure implicit attitudes, and three self-reporting measures of explicit attitudes, ambivalent sexism, and control of prejudices. The results indicated more positive implicit attitudes and low explicit antipathy towards women drivers. No age differences were found, but gender differences were observed (i.e., women showed more positive implicit and explicit attitudes towards their own group). Implicit and explicit attitudes showed a moderate correlation with each other and were not associated with a concern with acting prejudiced scale. Hostile sexism was a predictor of sexist driving attitudes. The results are discussed in the context of previous evidence on sexism in driving and implicit attitude models.

尽管女性司机的危险行为较少，发生交通事故的比例也低于男性，但人们普遍认为她们是糟糕的司机。为了理解这种看法，人们对与性别歧视相关的各种社会心理因素进行了研究。然而，人们对女性司机的性别歧视态度知之甚少，尤其是通过内隐态度模型进行研究时。本研究的目的是了解对女性司机隐性和显性的性别歧视态度。来自阿根廷马德普拉塔的N = 104 名参与者样本完成了一项刺激分类任务，使用反应时间来测量内隐态度，并使用三种自我报告测量外显态度、矛盾的性别歧视和偏见控制。结果表明，人们对女司机的内隐态度更加积极，外显反感程度较低。没有发现年龄差异，但观察到性别差异（即，女性对自己的群体表现出更积极的内隐和外显态度）。内隐态度和外显态度之间显示出适度的相关性，并且与行为偏见程度的担忧无关。敌对性别歧视是性别歧视驾驶态度的预测因素。研究结果是在先前关于驾驶和内隐态度模型中性别歧视的证据的背景下进行讨论的。
