Charlton, John P.
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v21 n4 p393-412 1999
Describes a study of undergraduates at Bolton Institute (England) that investigated biological sex, psychological masculinity and femininity, computer comfort, computer engagement, and computer over-use. Discusses the role of applications in determining sex differences, and explains findings that imply that some reduction of sex asymmetries in computing courses should be expected.
