Zusammenfassung:"Despite concentrated research and important legislative milestones on gender equality over the past quarter century, gender-related disparities in science, technology, and math careers persist into the 21st century. This persistence sustains a troubling state of gender inequity in which women are not sharing in the salary and status advantages attached to scientific and technical careers. In this landmark volume, editors Helen M. G. Watt and Jacquelynne S. Eccles, both well known for their research contributions in this area, have compiled a rich source of longitudinal analysis that places the problem in context. Experts from different countries in the fields of developmental and social psychology, human development, biology, education, and sociology draw from longitudinal data on the gender-related variables that influence occupational outcomes. Together, the studies bring a variety of perspectives, theoretical models, and cultural settings to bear on the book's central questions. Further, the contributors highlight policy implications, suggesting which circumstances best promote a more comprehensive and realistic understanding of gender differences in career choice and persistence. Detailed explanations of study design will serve as an invaluable resource for future researchers in this area"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
