Abstract :The purpose of this review is to provide a general integrative framework to understand the different ways used in interventions to reduce sexism and the outcomes of these interventions. There are many interventions in the literature however social cognitive theory (SCT, Bandura, 1986) has not been used sufficiently to understand the process in successful interventions conducted on reducing sexism. The implications are discussed in a way to raise awareness about sexism in the group practices with women. Social cognitive theory emphasizes that, people are motivated by their sense of self-efficacy. In this sense, SCT can be used to make sense of the mechanism underlying the interventions to reduce sexism. Within this frame, first I will review the literature about sexism and interventions to reduce sexism. Second, SCT will be briefly defined. Third, I will present how SCT explains underlying mechanisms of interventions for reducing sexism and propose a new model based on SCT.
