“…For example several or more of these items were also analysed for the 1988 and 1994 datasets by Treas and Widmer (2000), Scott et al (1996), Crompton and Harris (1997), Panayotova and Brayfield (1999), Knundsen and Waerness (2001) and Sundström (1999). This is consistent with a pattern first identified by Grant et al (1987).…”

This paper presents a review of distance education literature to describe the status thereof and to identify gaps and priority areas in distance education research based on a validated classification of research areas. The articles (N = 695) published in five prominent distance education journals between 2000 and 2008 were reviewed for this study. The conclusion is that distance education research is strongly dominated by issues related to instructional design and individual learning processes; whereas, other important areas (e.g., innovation and change management or intercultural aspects of distance learning) are dreadfully neglected. There is a significant trend towards collaborative research and more qualitative studies. Over 80% of all articles originate from only five countries.

“…Qualitative methods are suggested as congruent with 'relational and emotional skills stereotypically associated with women' and 'demand less abstraction from context and statistical analysis', skills stereotypically associated with males (Grant, Ward, & Rong, 1987, p. 856). A study of 856 published sociology papers (Grant et al, 1987) found that quantitative methods were most preferred by both males and females although use of qualitative methods was signifi cantly higher among females.A series of studies by Hicks (1995Hicks ( , 1996aHicks ( , 1996b in relation to nurses and midwives suggested that many traits ascribed to the researcher role were construed as masculine (e.g., ambition), while many traits associated with the clinician role were construed as feminine (e.g., sympathy). Perceived congruence was reported between the role of researcher and male gender, and females presented in vignettes as good at research were viewed as likely to be poor nurses (Hicks, 1996b).…”

This study tested, with a sample of United Kingdom (UK) trainee clinical psychologists, part of an existing model of factors that influence clinical psychologists' levels of research activity, in which gender identity is hypothesized to influence research self-efficacy and this in turn strength of intention to do research. A sample of 121 trainee clinical psychologists (56 men and 65 women) completed a measure of gender identity, research intention, and a research self-efficacy scale. Results indicated no differences in levels of research intention or research self-efficacy between the biological sexes or according to category-based gender identities (masculine and feminine). However, masculinity as a scale quantity was statistically significantly related to stronger research intention, preference for conducting quantitative research and research self-efficacy. Multiple regression analysis provided evidence that research self-efficacy may mediate between masculinity and strength of research intention. Research self-efficacy was the strongest predictor of intention to do research in the future. Findings have relevance for clinical psychology training as research activity directly impacts upon advances in the discipline of clinical psychology, implementation of research into practice, and evaluation of psychological therapies.
