摘要：

To assess possible nascent tensions between scientific and feminine roles, random subsamples of 705 girls taking a new high school physics course were compared with subsamples of 1369 boys on 58 cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral measures. 4 distinguishing patterns of differences were identified; the girls were higher on all 4: verbal aptitude (but not quantitative and spatial abilities), social values and interpersonal needs, cautiousness especially about science experiences, and aesthetic (rather than theoretical) valuations. These factors may lead to greater academic success in high school but appear to penalize women for later eminence in scientific careers. (24 ref.)
