From the perspective of gender roles, this study uses social capital as the intermediary variable to study female entrepreneurs' willingness to choose external financing. We combine social and behavioral sciences and financing theory to explore interactions between gender roles, social capital, and willingness to choose external financing. We elaborate on the intermediary role of social capital between gender roles and external financing. We find differences in gender role types among female entrepreneurs that significantly impact their willingness to choose external financing. Further, the differences among gender role types of female entrepreneurs significantly impact their social capital, which in turn is a significant but not sole factor that mediates their willingness to choose external financing.
从性别角色的角度来看，本研究以社会资本作为中介变量，研究女性创业者选择外部融资的意愿。我们结合社会科学、行为科学和融资理论，探讨性别角色、社会资本与选择外部融资意愿之间的相互作用。我们阐述了社会资本在性别角色与外部融资之间的中介作用。我们发现女性创业者的性别角色类型存在差异，这些差异显著影响她们选择外部融资的意愿。此外，女性创业者性别角色类型的差异显著影响她们的社会资本，而社会资本反过来又是影响她们选择外部融资意愿的一个重要但并非唯一的因素。
