The Roots of Gender Inequity in Technical Areas.

Campbell, James Reed

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v28 n3 p251-64 Mar 1991

Describes a study of the academic self-concepts, attributions, and achievements of male and female Asian-American and European-American students who won Westinghouse Awards (n=301). Results showed that fewer European-American female recipients anticipated college majors in technical areas and scored lower on the SAT, self-concept scales, and attribution scales. (PR)
