RT Journal Article ID 228e971772dbfd8b A1 Haller, Susan A1 Beyer, Sylvia T1 GENDER DIFFERENCES AND INTRAGENDER DIFFERENCES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS: ARE FEMALE CS MAJORS MORE SIMILAR TO MALE CS MAJORS OR FEMALE NONMAJORS? JF Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering JO JWM YR 2006 FD 2006-12-01 VO 12 IS 4 SP 337 OP 365 AB This paper presents the findings of a study investigating a) intragender differences, i.e., differences between female computer science (CS) majors and female nonmajors; and b) gender differences in CS students. To this end, we compared female CS majors, female nonmajors, male CS majors, and male nonmajors. We found evidence for substantial gender differences on social psychological variables such as values, interests, and computer self-efficacy. However, we also found that in many respects (e.g., attitudes towards CS, CS careers, and work-life balance) female majors were more similar to male majors than to female nonmajors. We discuss the implications of these findings for women's underrepresentation in CS. PB Begell House LK https://www.dl.begellhouse.com/journals/00551c876cc2f027,326510d420af5ffe,228e971772dbfd8b.html
