Dataset for paper Children’s implicit and explicit stereotypes on the gender, social skills, and interests of a computer scientist

The data and scripts used in the publication 'Children’s implicit and explicit stereotypes on the gender, social skills, and interests of a computer scientist'. <br>In this study, we focus on children’s implicit and explicit stereotypes regarding computer scientists’ gender, social skills and interests. We also study whether explaining what a computer scientist does affects these stereotypes. Method We study the implicit stereotypes through the reducedlength Child Implicit Association Test and the explicit stereotypes through self-reported absolute and relative Likert scale questions. We gathered data on 564 children between the age of 7 and 18 who were visiting a science museum. The participants in the experiment group (n=352) watch a video of either a man or woman explaining what a computer scientist does at the start of the study.

本数据集为发表于论文《儿童对计算机科学家的性别、社交技能与兴趣的内隐与外显刻板印象》中所使用的数据与脚本。本研究聚焦于儿童针对计算机科学家的性别、社交技能与兴趣所持有的内隐与外显刻板印象，同时探究阐释计算机科学家的工作职责是否会对这些刻板印象产生影响。研究方法：本研究通过简化版儿童内隐联想测验（Child Implicit Association Test）评估内隐刻板印象，通过自我报告的绝对型与相对型李克特量表（Likert scale）问题评估外显刻板印象。本研究共收集了564名年龄介于7至18岁之间、参观科技馆的儿童的相关数据。实验组参与者（n=352）在研究伊始观看了一段由男性或女性讲解计算机科学家工作职责的视频。
