In German, the masculine form is traditionally used generically, even though gender-inclusive language is an established approach to reducing discrimination against women in male-dominated professions. The present experimental vignette study investigated whether trust in a female physician was influenced by the grammatical gender of the job title (feminine vs. masculine). A total of 142 participants (48.0% identified as cisgender men and 52.0% as cisgender women; age: M = 35.1, SD = 11.1) from Germany and Austria each read four case vignettes in which a female physician treated either a woman or a man, with treatment outcomes being either successful or unsuccessful. Of the participants, 52.0% received vignettes referring to the physician with feminine job titles, while 48.0% received masculine job titles. Before reading the vignettes, participants completed the Benevolent Sexism in the Workplace (BSW) scale; after each vignette, they rated their trust in the physician's competence and compassion using the Trust in Physician Scale. To analyze the data, a mixed-design ANCOVA with within- and between-subject factors was conducted. Results showed that participants expressed greater trust in female physicians when feminine job titles were used in vignettes with favorable outcomes, particularly among male participants. Additionally, stronger endorsement of benevolent sexist beliefs was associated with higher trust ratings. These findings suggest that the use of feminine job titles for female physicians can enhance trust. However, this increase in trust - especially among men - may partly reflect stereotypical associations of women with compassion rather than genuine perceptions of medical competence.
