I think this is a great instrument to explore youth approaches/tendencies towards women in science. I like its simplicity and user-friendly character. The sample statements are very clear. The timing of the questionnaire is just very precise. The limited timing requires to record either immediately generated, honest reaction or well-known long-time established response.
Gender inequality is becoming a hot topic in my country, so I would love to use this tool in our beneficiary schools to understand the dispositions of youth towards women in science.
