(Erklären geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in der Wettbewerbsneigung warum Mädchen von mathematikintensiven Studiengängen und Berufen Abstand nehmen?)
There is fast growing literature showing that boys and girls differ in their taste for competitions. New studies try to link these differences to real world outcomes and decisions. In first study we replicated findings from the Netherlands, showing that in Switzerland, differences in competitiveness can explain up to 14% of the gender specific difference between boys and girls in academic baccalaureate schools (Gymnasien) when choosing math-intensive specializations vs. less math-intensive specializations (Buser et al. 2017). In the new part of the study we will apply the same analysis to entire range of abilities and thereby also cover the decisions when choosing math-intensive vs. less math-intensive apprenticeships.
