Tóm tắt

Mặc dù ngày càng có nhiều sự quan tâm đến các nghề nghiệp không điển hình về giới, nhưng chỉ có rất ít sinh viên thực sự lựa chọn các lĩnh vực học không điển hình về giới trong giáo dục đại học ở Hà Lan (giáo dục nghề cao và đại học). Ví dụ, rất ít nữ sinh chọn các lĩnh vực học kỹ thuật và khoa học, trong khi đó, ít nam sinh lựa chọn lĩnh vực chăm sóc sức khỏe. Mục tiêu chính của chúng tôi là điều tra tác động của những người có ảnh hưởng, chẳng hạn như cha mẹ và bạn bè, đối với quyết định ngành học của sinh viên. Nghiên cứu đã bao gồm 2102 sinh viên trong giáo dục đại học. Họ được cung cấp một bảng câu hỏi và trong khi hồi tưởng đã chỉ ra những ngành học mà họ đã cân nhắc, ngành học mà họ cuối cùng đã chọn, những người đã ảnh hưởng đến quyết định của họ và ý kiến của họ. Phát hiện chính là, nói chung, quyết định của sinh viên được ủng hộ bởi những người quan trọng (đặc biệt là cha mẹ), bất kể họ chọn ngành học điển hình, không điển hình hay không phân biệt giới.
