Women are underrepresented in the top ranks of the scientific career, including the biomedical disciplines. This is not generally the result of explicit and easily recognizable gender biases but the outcome of decisions with many components of unconscious nature that are difficult to assess. Evidence suggests that implicit gender stereotypes in perceptions as well as decisions. To explore these potential reasons of women's underrepresentation in life sciences we analyzed the outcome of gender-science and gender-career Implicit Association Tests (IAT) taken by 2,589 scientists working in high profile biomedical research centers. We found that male-science association is less pronounced among researchers than in the general population (34% below the level of the general population). However, this difference is mostly explained by the low level of the IAT score among female researchers. Despite the highly meritocratic view of the academic career, male scientists have a high level of male-science association (261% the level among women scientists), similar to the general population.

性别陈规定型观念与妇女的科学职业:来自生物医学研究中心的证据

妇女在包括生物医学学科在内的科学职业的最高职位中所占的比例不足。通常,这不是明显的和容易识别的性别偏见的结果,而是具有许多潜意识性质的,难以评估的决定的结果。有证据表明,在观念和决策中隐含性别定型观念。为了探讨妇女在生命科学领域任职人数不足的这些潜在原因,我们分析了由2589位在知名生物医学研究中心工作的科学家所进行的性别科学和性别职业内隐联系测验(IAT)的结果。我们发现,研究人员中的男性与科学之间的联系不如一般人群那么明显(比普通人群低34%)。然而,这种差异主要是因为女性研究人员的IAT评分水平较低。尽管对学术职业具有极高的精英管理能力,但男性科学家与男性科学协会的联系程度很高(女性科学家中的比例为261%),与普通人群相似。
