@Seda33554179 @zdch @mattyglesias Cross-sectional country data like this would be laughed out of economics, but its psychology so alas. The original study also failed replication: https://t.co/wIZO6PHklY

@DKeithClimate Note that there has been criticism about the the gender gap in STEM (e.g. https://t.co/6kMXxyk2o3, don't forget the reply) and debate about whether it is real or not is ongoing (see discussion of recent publications such as https://t.co/4km44EqjoL and https://t.co/eU1cxPsGO0)

@vxel Tutaj polemika z badaniem Stoet i Geary (2018), że korelacja między patriarchalnymi społ. i udziałem kobiet w STEM wynikać może z użycia GGGI jako błędnego miernika nierówności. Jeśli zastąpić go BIGI – wówczas zależność znika. https://t.co/MweZDaekpE https://t.co/D4UemdzJU0

@kevinburch @ItsGoneAwry @Harrys_Garage @Judith_Char I’m aware of the original study on this paradox, *and* aware that a) its measures of women’s participation in STEM and of gender equality have been criticised, and that b) other examinations find no such paradox.

Abstract Synopsis

The commentary discusses the concept of a gender-equality paradox in STEM fields, where countries with higher gender equality have fewer women pursuing STEM careers.
It references the study by Stoet and Geary (2018) that highlights this paradox and explores possible reasons behind it.
The implications of this paradox are examined, suggesting that societal expectations and academic environments may influence women's choices in STEM education and careers.
