Majoring in Computer Science: Causal Models for Women and Men.
Lips, Hilary M.; Temple, Linda
Research in Higher Education, v31 n1 p99-113 Feb 1990
A survey of 305 undergraduates tested a causal model for choice of computer science as a major. The model found causal differences for males and females. Attitudes toward mathematics played a more complex and stronger role for men, and experience played a stronger, more positive role for women. (Author/MSE)
