Alfermann, Dorothee; Holl, Christopher; Reimann, Swantje – International Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Evidence in the literature indicates that doctoral candidates may experience increased levels of stress and worry about successfully completing their doctorate degrees. As a result, a significant number of doctoral candidates drop out. In our study with 424 doctoral students in computer science (113 women, 311 men), we ask about the frequency of…
