" Forty-two male-female pairs, matched for ability, played two chess games via the Internet. When players were unaware of the sex of opponent (control condition), females played approximately as well as males. When the gender stereotype was activated (experimental condition), women showed a drastic performance drop, but only when they were aware that they were playing against a male opponent. When they (falsely) believed to be playing against a woman, they performed as well as their male opponents."

Essentially, me too.
I've passed on extremely lucrative opportunities before because I felt proceeding would compromise my integrity.
The most important thing for me has always been staying in tune with that inner most voice. I've been good at resisting peer pressure. People come and go, you can not leave yourself. To me that would be a sort of hell; living solely for the approval of other people then having them disappear leaving you to live with the regret of poor choices you made that go against your most basic character.
As I said before, to each their own. I don't have a problem with folks that make other choices provided they don't attempt to force them on me.
