Average perception error B̄ for ballet companies. Average perception error by gender in each company, compared with those from null models. (a) ABT, (b) NYCB, (c) NBC, (d) ROH. Red line indicates \(\bar{B} = 1\), an accurate perception of the women’s group size. Line segments in gray guides the difference in perception error by gender group. Most gender groups misconceive the real fraction of women in their network, while the difference is reduced in the edge-shuffled model. The perceived frequency of women is considerably more accurate in the gender-shuffled model
