Book excerpt: The present study, conducted in 1974, was a longitudinal followup of two groups of female subjects who had participated in an earlier study (Wright and Johnson, 1960) while the subjects were university students. One group of the subjects had majored in fields considered at that time to be traditionally feminine majors, i.e. social sciences, art, music, education, homemaking, etc. The other group had majored in fields of exact sciences, which at the time were considered more traditionally masculine. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether differences noted in the 1960 study will exist between these two groups of women relative to their life styles and personality characteristics. One of the one-hundred nine subjects who were presently available to participate in the follow-up study, seventy-sex responded to a mailed questionnaire and adjective check list. Thirty-two of the present respondents had originally been in the non-traditional group (exact science majors) and forty-four had been in the traditional group (non-science majors). Of eleven descriptive areas covered by the questionnaire in the follow-up study, only four areas showed a significant difference between the two groups in questionnaire responses regarding age, number who have married since the original study, number of children, number divorced, number who have, or are currently working, and stated reasons for working. The two groups did differ with regard to the percentage who had changed their college major during school, with a much greater percentage of change among the exact- science group (changing from exact science to more traditional majors for women). The two groups also differed in the amount of counseling they had received during their college years, although no differences were found in the amount of counseling received subsequent to their college years, More of the exact-science majors had sought and received professional counseling while in school than was true of the non-science group. Both groups of women perceived ;Thus, the observed differences did not represent intense scores for the study subjects. The present follow-up study recommended that further research be carried out using groups of women who have committed themselves to either non-traditional or traditional roles in order to better determine common or differing personality traits which might characterize each group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This toolkit provides a survey of the differential gender patterns of participation by men and women in science and technology. It assesses information provided by current sex-disaggregated quantitative data, along with discussing the reasons for differential rates of participation between women and men. The volume also looks at international methods for measuring science and technology activities, personnel and qualifications, and occupations, as well as how these can be properly disaggregated by sex, age and other variables. A key question addressed includes how to define economic and employment activities that can constitute or incorporate scientific and technological activities.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Ant and the Peacock written by Helena Cronin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a success story. It explains two long-running puzzles of the theory of natural selection. How can natural selection favour those, like the ant, that renounce tooth and claw in favour of the public-spirited ways of the commune? How can it explain the peacock's tail, flamboyant and a burden to its bearer; surely selection would act against useless ornamentation? Helena Cronin's enthralling account blends history, science and philosophy in a gripping tale that is scholarly, entertaining and eminently readable. The hardback edition was selected by Nature as one of the best scientific books in 1992. Also the New York Times chose it as one of their best books of 1992. The author divides her time between the Philosophy Department at the London School of Economics and the Zoology Department at Oxford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the most current data on women's progress in mathematics and science achievement, attitudes, course-taking patterns, and college majors. Results of recent studies suggest that many factors such as parental encouragement, teacher preparation, teacher student interactions, curriculum content, hands-on laboratory experiences, self-concept, attitudes toward mathematics and science, availability of mentors, and home resources contribute to the attitudes, access, and achievement of young women in mathematics and science. The research cited here suggests that the gender gap in science and mathematics in the United States appears at Grade 10 while internationally the gap appears around Grade 8. Despite this, there are still substantial differences between women and men in mathematics, computer science, engineering and science fields. Contains 29 references. (DDR)
