Survey assesses self-confidence in financial analysis among business analysts, showing gender differences.
It has been suggested that observed differences in self-confidence between the sexes may be dependent on the context and domain of items tested. Expressed self-confidence toward financial analysis by men and women was assessed by a survey mailed to 450 professional business analysts and university professors of accounting. Respondents analyzed a set of multiyear corporate financial reports and reported their self-confidence assessments in six financial areas. Expressed self-confidence was significantly higher for men than for women.
