Why aren’t there more women physicists2, and in senior positions? One factor may be unconscious biases4 that could keep women physicists from advancing—and may even prevent women from going into physics in the first place.

Amy Bug5, a physicist1 at Swarthmore University*, examined the bias3 question. Her research team trained four actors—two men, two women—to give a 10-minute physics lecture. Real physics classes watched the lecturers. Then the 126 students were surveyed.

When it came to questions of physics ability—whether the lecturer had a good grasp of the material, and knew how to use the equipment—male lecturers got higher ratings by both male and female students.

But when asked how well the lecturer relates to the students, each gender6 preferred their own. And while female students gave a slight preference to female lecturers, male students overwhelmingly rated the male lecturers as being superior. The research appears in the journal Physics World.

Bug says the results may be evidence of inherent biases that could hold women back—along with economic inequalities, such as lower wages and smaller start-up grants. Which reduce career acceleration7 and thus the amount of force available to crack the glass ceiling.

Thanks for the minute. For Scientific American’s 60-Second Science, I’m Cynthia Graber.
