Ware, Norma C.; And Others – Journal of Higher Education, 1985
In a sample of undergraduates with comparable abilities, preparation levels, and interests in science, women abandoned their plans to major in science at a significantly greater rate than men did. The different factors that predict men's and women's decisions to choose scientific fields are examined. (Author/MLW)

Harrington, Susan J. – Information Resources Management Journal, 1989
Examines individual and situational variables as factors in the behavior of computer users, namely copying of software and distribution of computer viruses. The results indicate that situational variables explain much of the variance in copying software, while the individual variable of sex is strongly related to computer virus distribution. (17…

Johnston, Dennis A.; Sherman, Martin F. – 1993
Numerous studies on death anxiety report conflicting findings. Concluding that a lack of specificity may explain the mixed results, this study sought to address the lack of focus and to extend and validate the results of an earlier study. A sample of 152 undergraduate students (111 female) from middle to upper-middle class participated. Subjects…

For a range of extrinsic and intrinsic value orientations, values held by students at entrance to college are the best predictors of values three years later. It is shown that important secondary predictors include sex (female), and characteristics of the student's major department (academic discipline and student/faculty social relationships).…
