Journal of College Science Teaching, v13 n2 p102-07 Nov 1983

Investigated factors accounting for differences in numbers of men/women (N=180) at the doctoral level in science. Examined mathematical, spatial, attitudinal, and personality characteristics of male/female biology/physical science majors and nonmajors. Results (including few differences between males/females in sciences) and implications are discussed. (JM)
