Question

Your text describes research on how many more women have joined orchestras since the blind audition process, where candidates audition behind a curtain and their names are withheld from judges, was introduced. What was the role of schemas in limiting the number of women on orchestras before the blind audition process was introduced?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Frederic Bartlett, a British psychologist, first gave the concept of schema. Schema may be defined s a mental structure of an individual that uses to organize information and helps to guide cognitive behavior.

People uses schemata to classify events and objects which are based on some common elements and thus they help to interpret and forecast the world.

Schemas are generally used to set social roles in different social situations. The blind audition process for the orchestras prevented women from not being noticed because of cultural beliefs that social role as a woman is to give care and take family responsibilities.
