Should Scientists and Engineers Be Combined into One Sample for Analysis
When comparing differences in attitude between occupational groups, scientists and engineers typically are clustered together. Data from the General Social Surveys, a nationwide social indicators program, showed that scientists and engineers differ significantly in their attitudes toward sexual behaviors, for example. It is recommended, therefore, that differences between occupational groups be assessed before combining groups into a single sampl…
Gender Differences in Attitudes toward Science
Analysis of nationwide surveys taken from 1972 through 1990 showed that, at all education levels and in all age groups from 20 to 79 years, females had less confidence in science than males. Greater percentages of females than males agreed with statements that, "science breaks down people's ideas of right and wrong" and "science pries into things." The relationships between gender differences in attitudes toward science and theories about biologi…
Racio-Ethnic Differences in Confidence in Science
17 nationwide surveys taken from 1972 through 1990 showed that Hispanic and African-American minority groups, traditionally underrepresented in science, were less confident about science than Asian and white groups. Confidence in science was positively influenced by education, but this effect was greater for white than for Hispanic or African-American groups. The possible interrelationships between economic factors, role models, and self-esteem i…

Psychology of the Scientist: LXIV. Work-Related Attitudes of U.S. Scientists
It is logical to think that doing important, meaningful work contributes to job satisfaction. In contrast to all other professional workers, however, evidence from nationwide surveys shows that scientists are more likely to prefer important, meaningful work but are less satisfied in their jobs. This suggests that various factors in the work environment of U.S. scientists somehow may prevent them from achieving the satisfaction they desire in thei…
