In 1978 a questionnaire on the functioning of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology was mailed to a sample of APA members. The authors present the significant differences in responses between men and women psychiatrists. A higher percentage of women than men were among thoes who had experienced stress from the time and effort involved in taking the Board examinations and from fear of the oral examination; 45% of the women respondents who had received certification had done so since 1975 versus 23% for the men. The authors discuss possible explanations for the sex differences, including role strain, and suggest greater flexibility in where , when, and how Board examinations can be taken.
1978年，一份关于美国精神病学与神经病学委员会运作情况的调查问卷被邮寄给了美国精神病学协会成员样本。作者呈现了男女精神科医生在回答上的显著差异。在那些因参加委员会考试所涉及的时间和精力以及对口试的恐惧而经历压力的人中，女性的比例高于男性；在获得认证的女性受访者中，45%是自1975年以来获得认证的，而男性这一比例为23%。作者讨论了性别差异的可能解释，包括角色紧张，并建议在考试地点、时间和方式上要有更大的灵活性。
