“…This is consistent with Kayany and Yelsma (1998) that men (compared to females) and children (compared to adults) are more proficient with online media. Habib and Cornford (2002) found gender differences around the home computer were often more perceptible between children that between adults. Contrarily, this study displayed greater discrepancies in gender among adults, with mothers displaying minimal power and interest in broadband purchase.…”

“…Wives are found to be more dominant for household furnishings and appliances whereas husbands are dominant for television and automobiles (Davis & Rigaux 1974). In context of this research, the household environment insinuates the domestic sphere of females against the stereotype of male proficiency regarding technology products (Habib & Cornford 2002).

“…However, they were the most concerned with the impact of broadband subscription of the family budget. Despite strong evidence of broadband as a masculine product category, an exclusively gender-centred decision-making process would be deficient in contextualising technology in family life (Habib & Cornford 2002).…”

“…Özellikle feminist araştırmacılar tarafından ortaya konan çalışmalar bu kapsamda işgücü içerisinde kadınların yeterince temsili için. uygun ortamın bir türlü oluşturulamadığını ve tüm sektörlerde yaşanan teknolojik devrimin ve iş içeriklerinde meydana gelen değişikliklerin kadınların bu konumunu iyileştirmeyip aksine kötüleştirdiğini ortaya koymaktadır (HABIB / CORNFORD, 2002;TRAUTH, 2002). Eğitim ve genel nitelikler açısından arada çoğu durumda olumsuz bir fark olmamasına karşın çoğu işletmede kadın işgörenler erkek işgörenlere kıyasla daha az önemli sayılmakta, daha az ücret almakta ve daha sınırlı yükselme olanaklarına sahip olmaktadır (TA YLOR,2002:549;WOODFIELD, 2002: 134).…”

“…They use computers more than girls as a social activity (Durndell & Thomson, 1997). Boys demand more power and functionality from home computers (Habib & Cronford, 2002). Students with home computers have significantly more positive attitudes towards IT in college (Selwyn, 1998).…”

Many western nations have experienced declining numbers of women in the information technology (IT) workforce (Trauth, Nielsen, & von Hellens, 2003). Between 1996 and 2002, women in the U.S. IT workforce declined from 41% to 34.9% (ITAA, 2003). This can hamper diversity and reduce the talent pool that can address needs of diverse end-users (Florida & Gates, 2002). Why do women choose IT careers or reject them? Multidisciplinary research on career genderization reveals gender imbalance (Trauth, Nielsen, & von Hellens, 2003). Career decisions against math, science, and technology (MST) are often made as early as age 11 without understanding long-term implications (AAUW, 2000). We examine influences on girls’ choice of IT careers, modeling social, structural, and personal variables that affect IT career choice. Using Ahuja’s (2002) classification of social and structural influences on women’s IT careers, Beise, Myers, VanBrackle, and Chevli-Saroq’s (2003) model of women’s career decisions, and individual differences suggested by Trauth (2002), we extend literature to children and adolescents’ career choices. Social influences bias internal and external gender perceptions and stereotyping, role models, peers, media, and family. Institutional support such as teachers and counselors, access to technology, and same-sex versus coeducational schools are structural influences. While both can influence career decisions, social factors have the most influence on children’s early perceptions. Both factors can introduce gender-stereotyping effects on career choices. Gender stereotyping explains how girls perceive their role in society based on subtle societal cues. It can limit opportunities for both sexes. We also examine personality traits and external influences that make children unique. Their individual differences draw them to activities and content areas such as problem solving and interaction with people. Finally, ethnic culture can exert an influence on social and structural variables. Figure 1 from Adya and Kaiser (2005) presents our career choice model that is discussed in the next section.
