Skilled or Gullible? Gender Stereotypes Related to Computer Security...
summary
A mixed-methods study uses a pre-study, affinity diagramming, and a main survey of crowd workers to map gendered security stereotypes: women are associated with four of five negative traits (sharing sensitive social posts, being emotional, falling for shopping scams, being gullible) while men appear in 10 stereotypes as skilled (know protection, use HTTPS, 2FA, antivirus) though sometimes overconfident. Men report stronger belief in positive male stereotypes, and higher ASI scores predict belief in negative female and positive male stereotypes.
