女性是否因为自我评估计算能力的性别差异而不太可能坚持计算机科学？为什么成绩相同的男女在自我评估方面存在性别差异？我们使用混合方法的研究设计来回答这些问题，同时利用定量调查数据（n = 764）和定性访谈数据（n = 59），从学生在美国大型州立大学的计算机入门课程。定量地，我们发现，女性自我评估自己的计算能力显着低于男性谁获得相同的成绩，这些较低的自我评估降低的可能性，女性参加未来的CS课程（相对于男性谁获得同等成绩）。定性，我们探讨女性和男性如何看待自己的计算能力，以了解为什么女性自我评估自己的能力低于男性。我们的采访显示，女性比男性更不可能对自己的能力做出有利的比较判断。妇女的个人业绩标准也高于男子。最后，与男性相比，女性更有可能受到助教和同学的不尊重对待，并被认为是无能。总之，这项研究进一步了解为什么性别差异存在于自我评估的计算能力，以及这些差异如何有助于性别差异的计算持久性。它还提请注意反馈的重要性，在计算课程，并建议，改善课程反馈可能会减少性别差异计算。
Are women less likely to persist in computer science because of gender differences in self-assessed computing ability? And why do gender differences exist in self-assessments among women and men who earn the same grades? We use a mixed-method research design to answer these questions, utilizing both quantitative survey data (n = 764) and qualitative interview data (n = 59) from students in introductory computing courses at a large U.S. state university. Quantitatively, we find that women self-assess their computing ability significantly lower than men who earn the same grades, and that these lower self-assessments reduce the likelihood that women enroll in future CS courses (relative to men who earn equivalent grades). Qualitatively, we explore how women and men perceive their own computing ability to understand why women self-assess their ability lower than men. Our interviews revealed that women were much less likely than men to make favorable comparative judgements about their ability relative to their classmates. Women also had higher personal performance standards than men. Lastly, women were more likely than men to experience disrespectful treatment, with an undertone of presumed incompetence, from their TAs and classmates. In sum, this research furthers our understanding of why gender differences exist in self-assessments of computing ability and how these differences can contribute to gender disparities in computing persistence. It also draws attention to the importance of feedback in computing courses and suggests that improving course feedback may reduce gender disparities in computing.
