In addition, low objective and subjective efficacy was found to promote docile behaviour.
Even in the 1930s, women were not invariably 'docile' or compliant workers.
So, taking all other effects into account, more docile and less proactive behaviour significantly increases depressive mood.
Perhaps the intolerance acknowledges that intellect, no matter how docile, can never be tamed once and for all.
They spoke of women workers as ' docile ' and ' passive ', needing to supplement male wages rather than support a household.
These results support the general notion that being efficacious contributes to less docile and to more proactive behaviour.
The relation between objective efficacy and docile\proactive behaviour received empirical support.
But as a result of its own excesses, power fails to always produce docile bodies and profit-seeking agents.
