研究发现图书馆学领域女性更倾向访谈法,男性更偏好理论方法。
Gender Differences in Research Topic and Method Selection in Library and Information Science: Perspectives from Three Top Journals
- 用全文本认知模型CogFT分析三本顶刊论文,细分研究方法
- 跨研究主题下,女性多用访谈,男性多用理论方法
- 为学术性别平等提供方法选择的参考路径
社会科学研究显示,性别会影响研究方法的选择:女性常选用定性方法,男性则偏好定量方法。但研究方法通常由研究主题决定。为探究性别对方法选择的影响,本研究聚焦图书馆与信息科学领域,采用更细粒度的方法分类体系,并运用基于全文认知的自动分类模型CogFT。结果表明,在多种研究主题下,女性更倾向于使用访谈法,男性则更偏好理论方法。研究揭示了促成性别差异的研究设计机制,提出了通过关注方法使用与指导来推动学术性别包容与平等的建议。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Research in the social sciences has shown that there are gender differences in the selection of research methods, with women often opting for qualitative methods while men prefer quantitative methods. However, it is important to consider that research methods are generally chosen based on the research topic. To figure out the influence of gender on research method selection, a study was conducted in the field of Library and Information Science, using a more fine-grained method classification system and an automatic classification model called CogFT, which is based on full-text cognition. The findings showed that women tend to use Interview while men prefer Theoretical approach, across a range of topics. The study offers insights into the specific research design processes that contribute to gender differences in method selection and suggests ways to promoting gender inclusivity and equality in academia by considering research method use and guidance.
