Female Attrition in Computer Science

The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative research study was to investigate the experiences of women in the field of computer science to gain a better understanding of the obstacles that prevent them from enjoying lengthy successful careers in the field. This research study sample represented 10 women from various parts of the country holding many titles but sharing the common denominator of working in the field of computer science. Women participating in this study provided valuable insight into the challenges that many women face within the field of computer science and STEM as a whole. Atkinson's Expectancy Value Theory (EVT) served as the theoretical basis for this study. Data was gathered by way of personal interviews that were conducted by phone

本現象學的質性研究旨在探討女性在計算機科學領域的經驗，以更好地了解阻礙她們在該領域享有長期成功職業生涯的障礙。這項研究的樣本包括來自全國各地的10位女性，擁有不同的職稱，但共同的特點是在計算機科學領域工作。參與這項研究的女性提供了對許多女性在計算機科學和整個STEM領域面臨的挑戰的寶貴見解。阿特金森的期望價值理論（EVT）是本研究的理論基礎。數據通過電話進行的個人訪談收集。
