can you find me a paper solely dedicated to feedback aversion and gender? #29

Note that niederle and vesterlund (2007) mention possible gender differences in feedback aversion. Can you find a paper that investigates this specifically?

Ideally this would be done before Thursday.

Replication of Niederle and Vesterlund (2007) which also investigates feedback aversion directly and involves medical tests for a link between cis women's hormonal cycles and degree of competitive behavior. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1564895 Wozniak, David and Harbaugh, William T. and Mayr, Ulrich, Choices About Competition: Differences by Gender and Hormonal Fluctuations, and the Role of Relative Performance Feedback (December 1, 2009).

Another replication of Niederle and Vesterlund (2007), but implementing a new treatment arm in which participants are given the score of the winner of their Task 2 tournament group as feedback before making the pay scheme choice in Task 3. Data from the base NV replication matches the original paper, but addition of feedback in the new treatment arm reduced competition differences by gender to an insignificant level. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Seda-Ertac/publication/264885746_The_Effect_of_Performance_Feedback_on_Gender_Differences_in_Competitiveness_Experimental_Evidence/links/545911810cf2bccc4912b4d4/The-Effect-of-Performance-Feedback-on-Gender-Differences-in-Competitiveness-Experimental-Evidence.pdf Ertac, S., & Szentes, B.

These are very helpful, but what I'm really looking for is something that answers the question "are (cis) women more averse to receiving feedback than (cis) men?" In a preference/willingness to pay sense.

These papers here answer "what is the effect of providing feedback on competition choice" which is related, but different
