I mean, what's really the case is that the variability hypothesis is supported by distributional qualities in grades, but it doesn't seem to fit with a gender gap. Meanwhile the distributional qualities of non STEM fields fit the gender gap in those fields. I get that, but I dont get why the variability hypothesis would hold true for non-STEM fields but not for STEM if the hypothesis is indeed viable. This just leads me to wonder if the hypothesis actually has legitimate explanatory power in regards to the gender gap or if its a case of falsely attributing a cause because th data correlates. I understand the paper doesnt go into the explanation of it, just some first thought I had as I was reading. --- I don't know my gimmick "Does that sound reasonable to you?" <cite>Kazi1212 posted [p:909509941] in Variabilit...
