Notes

A Note on Gender Stereotyping of Research Topics

Margaret L. Signorella

Women and men in general psychology classes were surveyed about their interest in signing up for psychological research. The topics in the survey previously had been judged as masculine, feminine, or neutral Women had a greater preference for feminine topics than did men, while men had a greater preference for masculine topics than did women. Thus, it is possible that men and women are volunteering differentially for gender-stereotyped research topics. Implications of this potential sample bias for the study of sex differences are discussed.
