• Men, women and STEM: Why the differences and what should be done? (2020, background): “…psychology, the social sciences and the health sciences: the former fields are of interest to more men than women, and the latter to more women than men, and people tend to gravitate to fields that interest them most (Diekman et al., 2017; Yang & Barth, 2015).1 Preferences for specific occupations.”
• Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, background): “Among STEM majors, women report more interest than men in people-and helping-oriented aspects of these majors (P. H. Miller, Blessing, & Schwartz, 2006; P. H. Miller, Rosser, Benigno, & Zieseniss, 2000; Yang & Barth, 2015).”
