We contacted a random sample of social/personality psychologists in the United States and asked for copies of their graduate syllabi. We coded more than 3,400 papers referenced on these syllabi for gender of authors as well as other characteristics. Less than 30% of the papers referenced on these syllabi were written by female first authors, with no evidence of a trend toward greater inclusion of papers published by female first authors since the 1980s. The difference in inclusion rates of female first-authored papers could not be explained by a preference for including classic over contemporary papers in syllabi (there was evidence of a recency bias instead) or the relative availability of female first-authored papers in the published literature. Implications are discussed.
我们联系了美国的一组随机抽样的社会/人格心理学家，并要求他们提供研究生课程大纲的副本。我们对这些大纲中引用的 3400 多篇论文进行了编码，以确定作者的性别以及其他特征。这些大纲中引用的论文中，由女性第一作者撰写的不到 30%，而且自 20 世纪 80 年代以来，没有证据表明女性第一作者发表的论文比例有所增加。课程大纲中纳入女性第一作者论文的比例差异不能用偏爱在大纲中纳入经典论文而不是当代论文来解释（相反，有证据表明存在近期偏见），也不能用已发表文献中女性第一作者论文的相对可获得性来解释。讨论了其影响。
