Many studies have examined the impression that the general public has of science and how this can prevent girls from choosing science fields. Using an online questionnaire, we investigated whether the public perception of several academic fields was gender-biased in Japan. First, we found the gender-bias gap in public perceptions was largest in nursing and mechanical engineering. Second, people who have a low level of egalitarian attitudes toward gender roles perceived that nursing was suitable for women. Third, people who have a low level of egalitarian attitudes perceived that many STEM fields are suitable for men. This suggests that gender-biased perceptions toward academic fields can still be found in Japan. Abstract

性别偏向公众对STEM领域的看法，重点关注平均主义态度对性别角色的影响

许多研究检查了公众对科学的印象，以及这如何阻止女孩选择科学领域。我们使用在线问卷调查了日本几个学术领域的公众看法是否存在性别偏见。首先，我们发现公众看法中的性别偏见差距在护理和机械工程领域最大。第二，对性别角色的平等态度低的人认为护理适合女性。第三，平等态度低的人认为许多STEM领域都适合男性。这表明在日本仍然可以找到偏向于性别的对学术领域的看法。抽象
