Psychology, despite being considered a "feminized" discipline maintains the same trend.

The results showed that no student could mention any woman pioneer in psychology, both students and co-workers to know more male researchers, but two-thirds of those who know a woman researcher proposed follow in their footsteps; In addition, they emphasized the role of the teachers as major drivers of the scientific career between his students.
