Study: Women rate Web skills lower than men
Study: Women rate Web skills lower than men
Though the study results showed the men and women were equally skilled at tasks like finding a museum website or finding a candidate's position on a particular issue, women self-rated as "average" while men rated their own skills as "expert."
There are other studies about how men and women like to learn new software (men, in front of a group; women, by themselves until they gain confidence) that are interesting. I am going to do a little experiment like this in the fall with some students. Any opinions or related studies folks know of?
