Gender Differences
Significant gender gaps exist among Calvin students in self-ratings of computer skills, mathematical ability, and physical health. While similar gender gaps exist between males and females at peer institutions, the computer skills differences between Calvin males and females are even more pronounced than the difference evident at comparison group institutions. Calvin women tend to rate themselves higher than Calvin men in “Drive to achieve,” “Religiousness,” and “Writing ability.”
