Gender differences in competitiveness and risk taking: comparing children in Colombia and Sweden
We explore gender differences in preferences for competition and risk among children aged 9-12 in Colombia and Sweden, two countries differing in gender equality according to macro indices. We include four types of tasks that vary in gender stereotyping when looking at competitiveness: running, skip...

We include four types of tasks that vary in gender stereotyping when looking at competitiveness: running, skipping rope, math and word search. We find that boys and girls are equally competitive in all tasks and all measures in Colombia. Unlike the consistent results in Colombia, the results in Sweden are mixed, with some indication of girls being more competitive than boys in some tasks in terms of performance change, whereas boys are more likely to choose to compete in general. Boys in both countries are more risk taking than girls, with a smaller gender gap in Sweden.Aquí exploramos las diferencias de género en las preferencias por la competencia y el riesgo en niños de 9 a 12 años en Colombia y Suecia, dos países que difieren en su igualdad de género de acuerdo con índices macro. Incluimos cuatro tipos de tareas de competencia que varían en el estereotipo que se tiene de cada una por género: correr, saltar lazo, matemáticas y sopas de letras. Encontramos que los niños y niñas son igualmente competitivos en todas las tareas en Colombia. En contraste, los resultados en Suecia son mixtos, con alguna indicación de que las niñas son más competitivas que los niños en algunas de las tareas, cuando se evalúa el cambio en el desempeño de una situación de no competencia a una de competencia, mientras que los niños parecen tender a escoger competir más en general. Los niños en ambos países son más tolerantes al riesgo que las niñas, con una brecha más pequeña en Suecia.41 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 35 Noviembre de 2010https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/007719.htmlGender differences in competitiveness and risk taking: comparing children in Colombia and SwedenDiferencias de género en competitividad y riesgo: comparación de niños en Colombia y SueciaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPCompetitivenessRisk preferencesChildrenGender differencesExperimentRiesgo (Psicología) - Investigaciones - ColombiaRiesgo (Psicología) - Investigaciones - SueciaCompetitividad - Investigaciones - ColombiaCompetitividad - Investigaciones - SueciaToma de decisionesC91, D03, J16Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2010-35.pdfdcede2010-35.pdfapplication/pdf571818https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e6106d87-7507-4103-978c-f91d2e84482e/download2a572ca5699304376ad09aff58375725MD51TEXTdcede2010-35.pdf.txtdcede2010-35.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain83153https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/3d15ced2-76c1-4806-8234-31fab35a633d/download1d4846ea118fd94e54898214eefd4cc9MD54THUMBNAILdcede2010-35.pdf.jpgdcede2010-35.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg4671https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/0394fecf-89bb-4eaa-8359-c59b6777a5c1/download16480d6e9b1ab2d919dc29b0c79cd622MD551992/8211oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/82112024-06-04 15:39:30.287http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
