p¼0.04).The remaining categories, including words representing communal or agentic traits and "standout" adjectives, "grindstone" traits, and teaching and research words were also not statistically different between men and women applicants.Conclusions: Building upon prior research in this expanded study population, our results indicate that there are minimal language differences by sex in SLOEs for EM applicants. The wording differences noted in 2 categories were statistically significant, but of unclear real-world significance with only a 1-2 word difference between sex. Future work could evaluate how the SLOE format may contribute to this relative lack of bias compared to other fields and formats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
