Scholars have examined gender differences in many areas of college life, but we know little about how men and women may interact differently with faculty-an activity with strong links to student outcomes. Using data from the National Survey of Student Engagement, I investigate whether men and women demonstrate different styles of interaction with faculty. I find that women are more likely than men to engage frequently in instrumental interactions, such as emailing and discussing course logistics with faculty. In contrast, men are more likely than women to have frequent higher order interactions, such as discussing ideas and participating in research. These findings introduce a new typology of student-faculty interaction and contribute to our understanding of gendered pathways through higher education.
学者们已经研究了大学生活许多领域中的性别差异，但我们对男性和女性与教师互动方式的差异却知之甚少，而这种互动与学生的学业成果有着紧密联系。利用来自全国学生参与度调查的数据，我研究了男性和女性与教师互动的方式是否存在差异。我发现，女性比男性更有可能频繁地进行工具性互动，比如给教师发电子邮件以及讨论课程安排。相比之下，男性比女性更有可能频繁地进行高阶互动，比如讨论观点和参与研究。这些发现引入了一种新的师生互动类型，并有助于我们理解高等教育中的性别差异路径。
