  Corrections among colleagues are an integral part of group work, but people
may take corrections as personal criticism, especially corrections by women. I
study whether people dislike collaborating with someone who corrects them and
more so when that person is a woman. People, including those with high
productivity, are less willing to collaborate with a person who has corrected
them even if the correction improves group performance. Yet, people respond to
corrections by women as negatively as by men. These findings suggest that
although women do not face a higher hurdle, correcting colleagues is costly and
reduces group efficiency.
