在计算机项目中持续缺乏女性导致了一些关键问题，即如何让更多的女性参与到计算机中来。尽管之前的研究表明，女性自我报告她们的动机是计算机潜在的“做好事”性质，但本文描述了一项更有针对性的研究，旨在调查女性在开发人道主义和非人道主义应用程序时的兴趣和动机是否存在差异。376名计算机入门学生完成了一项调查，调查了哪些应用程序会让她们感兴趣，并会激发她们开发的动机。学生们被要求从两个应用程序中选择他们更有兴趣开发的应用程序，一个是人道主义的，另一个是非人道主义的。例如，他们是否更愿意编写一个应用程序来跟踪季节性流感患者或披萨的送货情况。学生们还被要求对他们编写各种人道主义和非人道主义应用程序的动机进行评级。例如，学生们对他们编写应用程序为无家可归者寻找可用的避难所空间和为新商店找到有利可图的地点的动机进行了评级。对364名入门计算学生的可用调查结果表明，女性对人道主义应用程序比非人道主义应用程序更感兴趣，女性对人道主义应用程序比非人道主义应用程序更感兴趣。吸引更多女性参与计算的一种方法可能是以人道主义为重点来框定编程示例和作业，最终让学生为社会公益项目做出贡献。
The persistent lack of women in computing programs leads to some key questions about how to engage more women in computing. Although prior research has shown that women self-report they are motivated by the potential "doing good" nature of computing, this paper describes a more focused study designed to investigate if there are differences in women's interest and motivation in developing humanitarian vs. non-humanitarian applications.376 introductory computing students completed a survey about what applications they would find interesting and motivating to develop. Students were asked to choose which of two applications, one humanitarian and one non-humanitarian, they would be more interested in developing. For example, would they rather write an application to track seasonal flu patients or pizza deliveries. Students were also asked to rate how motivating they would find writing various humanitarian and non-humanitarian applications. For example, students rated their motivation to write applications to find available shelter space for the homeless and to find profitable locations for new stores.Results of 364 usable surveys of introductory computing students demonstrate that women are more interested in humanitarian applications as opposed to non-humanitarian and women are more motivated by humanitarian applications than non-humanitarian. One way to engage more women in computing may be to frame programming examples and assignments with a humanitarian focus and eventually have students contribute to projects for social good.
