Abstract: Previous reviewers have suggested that women display lower self-confidence than men across almost all achievement situations. The empirical validity of this suggestion is assessed.

Instead, the nature of this sex difference depends upon such situation variables as the specific ability area, the availabilit… Show more

“…Finally, given the 506 increasing use of the internet and the evident popularity of the nutrition course 507 on which respondents were enrolled, perhaps increased provision of online 508 courses would be beneficial. Not only do such course offer the potential to 509 deliver reliable and accurate information that can be retained for future 510 reference, they can also provide an opportunity for assessment, offering 511 feedback on performance that can increase confidence (Lenney, 1977), and 512 the opportunity to engage with professional lecturers to address personal 513 areas in which confidence is lacking. 514…”

“…Les travaux de Lenney (1977), qui représentent encore aujourd'hui une base sur laquelle se fondent bon nombre de travaux, ont permis de mettre en évidence trois paramètres dans l'approche genrée de la confiance en soi (Lenney 1977 : 3). Le premier touche le type de tâche, même si, selon Lenney, les tâches spécifiquement concernées ne sont pas clairement définies.…”

“…Évidemment, la traduction étant une activité professionnelle fortement féminisée, ce critère ne s'y applique pas. Le deuxième paramètre concerne la clarté des directives et de la rétroaction appliquées à la tâche, l'ambiguïté de ces aspects nuisant apparemment à la confiance en soi des femmes, toujours selon Lenney (1977 : 3-4).
