Description

SCR is a complementary bias metric the article introduces because existing benchmarks "probe model-internal associations via templated inputs and cover only broad occupational categories", which does not suit free-text career recommendations. It is defined as "the proportion of essays in which the recommended occupation matches the biography subject's gender stereotype", with occupations labeled via BLS CPSAAT11 workforce gender shares (over 60% one gender = stereotyped; otherwise neutral). Neutral occupations count in the denominator but not as matches, making the metric conservative.

Accounts

• Stereotype Congruence Rate (SCR): a free-text occupational stereotyping metric grounded in BLS labor-market gender distributions: SCR is a complementary bias metric the article introduces because existing benchmarks "probe model-internal associations via templated inputs and cover only broad occupational categories", which does not suit free-text career recommendations. It is defined as "the proportion of essays in which the recommended occupation matches the biography subject's gender stereotype", with occupations labeled via BLS CPSAAT11 workforce gender shares (over 60% one gender = stereotyped; otherwise neutral). Neutral occupations count in the denominator but not as matches, making the metric conservative. (Ariyan Hossain et al. (2026))

Claims

• Biased LLM assistance increases students' gender-stereotypic occupational recommendations: 71.4% of biased-condition essays recommended a gender-stereotypic occupation versus 45.0% (control) and 39.0% (neutral) [+M]
