摘要

目的本研究旨在评估骨科外科住院医师培训项目男女申请人在个人陈述中语言特点的差异:设计:这是一项盲法回顾性分析,分析对象为一个申请周期内骨科外科住院医师培训项目的所有申请人的个人陈述。使用语言分析软件对语言特点进行分析。该软件评估了19个变量,包括字数、4个总结性语言变量(分析性思维、影响力、真实性和情感基调)以及14个额外的词语类别:我们的研究在[机构]进行:对 2018-2019 年住院医师申请周期内提交的所有申请进行了分析。根据排除标准,889 名申请者被纳入研究,其中省略了最终在本机构匹配的 5 名申请者以及非美国公民:各组之间的字数差异无统计学意义。在语言变量汇总中,女性申请人的真实性更高(p = 0.0142)。在选定的词类中,男性在确定性(p = 0.0418)方面的平均得分较高,而女性在好奇心(p = 0.0102)、感知力(p = 0.0486)和注意力(p = 0.0293)方面的平均得分较高:结论:申请骨科住院医师培训的男女生在个人陈述的语言特点上存在细微差别。关于骨科项目主任最需要的特定语言特点和沟通技巧的新数据将加强我们研究结果的意义。最后,随着住院实习申请的评估标准不断变化,个人陈述可能会扮演更重要的角色。

Gender Differences in Self-Description: A Linguistic Analysis of Orthopedic Surgery Residency Application Personal Statements

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study is to assess differences in language characteristics in personal statements written by male and female applicants to an orthopedic surgery residency program.

DESIGN

This is a blinded retrospective analysis of personal statements from all applicants to an orthopedic surgery residency training program during 1 application cycle. Language characteristics were analyzed using a linguistic analysis software. This software evaluated 19 variables, including word count, 4 summary language variables (analytical thinking, clout, authenticity, and emotional tone), and 14 additional word categories.

SETTING

Our study took place at [institution].

PARTICIPANTS

All applications submitted during the 2018-2019 residency application cycle were analyzed. 889 applicants were included in the study based on exclusion criteria, which omitted the 5 applicants who ultimately matched at our institution, as well as non-US citizens.

RESULTS

Word count was not statistically significant between groups. Amongst the summary language variables, authenticity was higher in female applicants (p = 0.0142). Of the selected word categories, males averaged a higher score in certainty (p = 0.0418), while females averaged higher scores in curiosity (p = 0.0102), perception (p = 0.0486), and attention (p = 0.0293).

CONCLUSIONS

Subtle differences exist in the language characteristics of personal statements written by male and female applicants to orthopedic surgery residency. The implications of our findings would be strengthened by new data on specific language characteristics and communication skills most desired by orthopedic program directors. Lastly, as evaluation metrics for residency applications continue to change, personal statements may assume an even more important role.
