Abstract

Background: the underrepresentation of women in the field of technology, their progressive disappearance from scientific and technological careers, as well as the disaffection towards technology by women continues to prevail despite, the efforts that are being made. This article is an analysis of the early results of a study on women's attitudes towards technology. Method: we prepared a questionnaire about attitudes towards technology building on previous investigations. By means of a convenience sampling, followed by a snowball sampling strategy, we presented a questionnaire to 497 women (Spanish, German and Indian). Results: By means of a Principal Components Analysis, we have identified two dimensions: 1) attitude related to the experience with technology entrenched in gender stereotypes; 2) attitude to the ability to teach and learn ICT. Conclusions: similarities have been shown among the groups of women of different nationalities, in terms of the interpretation of these dimensions, but not for the set of items summarized in each one of them. In addition, a third dimension was obtained in the group of women from India: attitude related to the role of gender in relation to technology

西班牙、德国和印度女性对技术态度的潜在维度

背景:尽管正在作出努力，但妇女在技术领域任职人数不足，她们逐渐从科学和技术事业中消失，以及妇女对技术的不满情绪仍然普遍存在。这篇文章是对一项关于女性对技术态度的研究的早期结果的分析。方法:在以往调查的基础上，对科技建设的态度进行问卷调查。通过方便抽样，然后是滚雪球抽样策略，我们向497名妇女(西班牙，德国和印度)提交了一份问卷。结果:通过主成分分析，我们确定了两个维度:1)与性别刻板印象中根深蒂固的技术经验相关的态度;2)对ICT教与学能力的态度。结论:在这些维度的解释方面，不同国籍的妇女群体之间显示出相似之处，但在每个维度中总结的一组项目中却没有。此外，在来自印度的妇女群体中获得了第三个方面:与性别在技术方面的作用有关的态度
