Part of the reason why there are fewer women studying science and engineering is people's inherent prejudice. Previous experimental research shows that women's scientific ability is not weak, but many women's spatial cognitive ability will be slightly lower than that of men, but it will not affect their future study. Many families think that girls are not suitable for science and engineering jobs, and girls can do some easy and simple jobs, which also leads to the excessive lack of knowledge of mathematics and physics. This deep-rooted stereotype makes many girls think that mathematical chemistry is not good since childhood, and long-term psychological hints will lead to many girls' lack of confidence in their future studies.
In various social studies, there are many outstanding female scientists or mathematicians in countries that do not discriminate against women, but on the whole, there are still more men than women. In our country, there will be liberal arts subjects in high schools. Teachers and parents generally have the psychology that boys are suitable for science and girls are suitable for liberal arts. When applying for a major after the college entrance examination, girls will be advised to choose some liberal arts majors, such as finance, accounting and nursing. These traditional ideas have also created the gap between men and women in the choice of liberal arts.
However, a recent data study shows that if girls in a country are good at math, their reading ability will be much better than that of some men, because many men have no patience and can't read for a long time, and women can just make up for this disadvantage. In other words, no matter how good their math scores are, girls always have a much greater advantage than boys in the field of liberal arts, but choosing to study science or liberal arts is a personal choice and should not be hindered by others.
