According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they're stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.
So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, it's not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets.
It’s also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women's family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren't more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.
Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similar shares say the electorate（选民）and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.
As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it's only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.
Positive thinking is a lot more than blind faith — and its power over people’s lives is awesome. Optimists fare better than pessimists in almost every respect of life, often achieving more and enjoying greater social success. Optimistic people are also less susceptible to depression and physical illnesses. Says psychology professor Martin E.P. Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania, “There’s evidence that optimism bolsters the immune system.”
Psychologists believe optimism and pessimism are habits we learn as children, and our parents are our role models. When a water pipe broke and flooded your new home, did your father lament, “Why did I pick such a lousy house?” Or did he declare, “Our contract guaranteed everything would be in perfect condition, so I’ll have the builder fix the plumbing and replace the damage”?
“Optimism is a habitual way of explaining setbacks to yourself,” says Seligman. Here’s how it works:
The pessimist believes bad events stem from permanent conditions (“I failed the math quiz because I don’t have a head for numbers”) and good events from temporary ones (“My husband brought me flowers because he had a good day at work”). The optimist, however, attributes failure to temporary causes (“I failed the test because I didn’t pay much attention”) and favorable situations to enduring causes (“He brought me flowers because he loves me”).
The pessimist allows a disappointment in one area of his life to pervade the rest. Say he’s laid off from work. The pessimist not only feels bad about losing his job, but he also starts to worry that his marriage is in trouble and his kids are out of control. The optimist doesn’t let one setback contaminate his whole life. So at the moment I don’t have a job, he thinks, my wife and I are still close, and my kids made the honor roll.
When things go wrong, pessimists blame themselves. If another driver dents your packed car, you blame yourself for parking in a “stupid” spot. The optimist ascribes such trouble to a coincidence or fluke and looks for a new approach — “Next time I’ll park where there are few cars.”
The economy of the United states after 1952 was the econnomy of a well-fed,almost fully employed people. Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.

AI参考:根据原文信息得出，美国女性在政府和商业高层职位中数量较少的原因是女性需要付出比男性更多的努力来证明自己，同时女性在政治和商业领域中的双重标准也阻碍了她们晋升到最高领导职位。文中提到，美国公众认为女性缺乏坚韧、管理才能或适当的技能集的说法是不正确的。此外，工作与生活的平衡也不是全部问题所在。虽然经济研究和之前的调查结果显示，因育儿而中断职业可能会使女性在职业生涯中更难晋升，并更难竞争顶级执行职位，但最近的调查显示，相对较少的成年人认为这是女性寻求领导角色的主要障碍。因此，公众对美国公司中的不平衡是否会在可预见的将来改变存在分歧，尽管女性已经在职场取得了重大进展。同时，当谈到政治时，美国人不太怀疑：73%的人期望在有生之年能看到女性总统的出现。故选：双重标准对于女性在政治和商业领域中晋升到最高领导职位的阻碍更大。'
