He Said, She Said, Part 3
The last installment of findings from Linda Sax, The Gender Gap in College: Maximizing the Development Potential of Women and Men (2008), concerning longitudinal research from UCLA’s Cooperative Institution Research Program (CIRP): Female and male college students’ experiences differ in several key ways: 1) female students’ average income has fallen further behind their male counterparts, making them more concerned about whether they will have enough money to complete college; 2) despite the fact that women earn better grades and have a stronger academic orientation than men, they suffer from comparatively low academic confidence, a gender gap that has been widening; 3) women enter college with higher levels of self-reported stress and lower ratings of their physical and emotional health. Final conclusions on all the research: both genders face challenges to their adjustment and development. College educators should be concerned about high stress and low self-esteem among women, and they should be concerned about growing academic disengagement among men.
