This article analyzes how three sets of characteristics-( 1) individual attitudes, practices, and academic position; (2) location and professional connections; and (3) marital/ family statuses-operate in explaining the publication productivity of men and women in a national sample of social work academia.We find that: (1) together, the variables explain more variance in women's than men's publication rate;(2) comparing female models to male models, the effect of attitudes and practices are more stable for women; and (3) professional connections and family statuses operate differently for women as compared to men.
