Minority groups may differ in the extent to which they will experience the negative consequences of tokenism as a result of their token status. Both female police officers and male nurses experience tokenism, female police officers experience greater disadvantage in the workplace. Through document analysis, the author investigates psychological climate of gender inequity as a way to understand how tokens experience. In the present study, results reveal that ＂Tokens＂, female police officers, experienced a variety of hardships in the workplace because of gender inequality. Token police officers do experience the effects of tokenism as predicted by tokenism theory. By contrast, male nurses who break into the female dominated field of nurses have many opportunities for promotion and advancement in their profession.

To create a hospitable work environment for minorities, we must first understand their workplace experiences.
