> It also found that 100 per cent of girls in the study who were already in PSTEM degrees were identified as gamers. However, the same could not be said for boys where a similar amount of gamers existed regardless of degree type, leading to thoughts that boys experience far less pressure to conform to the video gamer stereotype if they were studying a PSTEM degree.
That's a very strange train of thought. Those girls that basically said FU to all the traditional gender roles by getting educated in technology now show 100% conformity to vague expectation that STEM student is a gamer, which is funny because students know not everyone of them is a gamer.
My positive summation of both the paper and the article.
Strong correlation found between women that identify as GEEK GIRL GAMERS and Women Who Study PSTEM.
Statistically insignificant correlation found between MALE subgroubs GEEK GAMERS and MEN THAT STUDY PSTEM.
Suggested implication is that given [PRESUMPTION; Supporting Scientific Evidence Exists] that due to
Underlying PERSONALITY Substructers people who vary at the extreme from their group norm along one dimension of measurement GEEK GIRL GAMER are more than likely to also vary at the extreme of another form of measurement Women Who Study PSTEM.
This suggests [PRESUMPTION; Further Scientific Study] that due to Presumed underlying PERSONALITY Substructions women [= specifically] who that have an interest or apptitude for in gaming are likely to have an apptitude of interest in PSTEM.
Possible Application that it MIGHT Be beneficial to encourage exposure of young women who have an interest or talent in the field of Gaming to PSTEM, as research suggests women and girls that identify or show an interest in Gaming are LIKELY have to have an Aptitude and or Interest for PSTEM.

Dont have access to the paper to see any more of this. Is that social deprivation increases STEM participation or decreases it?
