Introducción: Las mujeres no están representadas de manera igualitaria respecto a los hombres a lo largo de las categorías profesionales del sistema científico. Varios estudios demuestran que el primer escalón donde se verifica una disminución del número de mujeres es el doctorado. El objetivo de este estudio era evaluar el rendimiento global y por área de conocimiento en el doctorado en función del sexo. Método: Como medida de rendimiento, se comparó el número de tesis doctorales registradas en la base de datos de Tesis Españolas Ordenadas TESEO del Ministerio de Educación del Gobierno de España entre 2002 y 2009 por sexo en una muestra 3.463 doctorandos (1.724 mujeres, 1.739 hombres). Resultados: El análisis del rendimiento diferencial por sexo no mostró diferencias estadísticamente significativas a nivel global ni por áreas de conocimiento. Conclusiones: El presente estudio confirma que, cuando los doctorandos son beneficiarios de una beca predoctoral y en condiciones igualitarias, no existen diferencias de rendimiento en programas de doctorado en función del sexo.

The Youth Self-Report (YSR/11-18) is a widely used child-report measure that assesses problem behaviors along two “broadband scales”: internalizing and externalizing. It also scores eight empirically based syndromes and DSM-oriented scales and provides a summary of total problems. Although the YSR was designed for youths ages 11-18, no studies have systematically evaluated whether youths under the age of 11 can make valid reports using the YSR broad-band, syndrome and DSM-oriented scales. It is a parallel form to the caretaker-completed Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and teacher-completed Teacher Report Form (TRF). Few studies related to YSR/11-18 (Achenbach, & Rescorla, 2000, 2001) factor structure were carried out in Spanish children and adolescent population. This study analyses the factor structure of this assessment tool, in 961 Spanish adolescents attending school from 13 to 18 years old. A principal components method was used to extract the factors followed by a Varimax rotation. According to current research, each sex was treated separately, and only items referred to misbehavior (105 out of 119) were included. Seven first-order common factors were found in both, boys and girls: Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Delinquent Behavior, Aggressive Behavior, Attention Problems, Thought Problems and Relational Problems. Factoring of these seven syndromes led to a single second-order factor in younger males. Older males and females showed labeled internalize and externalize symptoms. These results resembled that obtained in former studies with Spanish population.
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.
