Abstract

Iako su žene znanstvenice u boljoj poziciji danas nego što su bile kroz povijest, postoje indikacije da rodna nejednakost u korist muškaraca u znanosti i dalje postoji. To se očituje i u psihologiji, znanosti koja prednjači u zastupljenosti žena, jer žene u psihologiji zaostaju iza muškaraca prema mjerama znanstvene produktivnosti i odjeka znanstvenih radova. Na uzorku autorstava hrvatskih psihologa objavljenih između 2014. i 2020. analizirali smo odnose varijabli roda autora, godine objave i regije časopisa.
Znanstveni časopisi u polju psihologije bili su podijeljeni u dvije skupine: časopisi izdani u zemljama Srednjoistočne Europe (SIE) i časopisi čiji su izdavači iz zemalja Zapadne Europe ili Sjeverne Amerike (ne-SIE). SIE časopisi su generalno skromnijeg odjeka, a većina radova u ovoj skupini bila je objavljena u hrvatskim časopisima. Utvrdili smo postojanje rodne nejednakosti s obzirom na regiju časopisa: iako su ženska autorstva bila brojnija od muških u obje regije, muška su autorstva bila relativno više zastupljena u ne-SIE časopisima, a relativno manje u SIE časopisima, dok je kod žena to bilo obratno. I muška i ženska autorstva su doživjela porast u mjerenom periodu. Gledajući odvojeno muška i ženska autorstva kroz vrijeme, sve do zadnje godine udio SIE i ne-SIE autorstava se ne mijenja, ali 2020. godine dolazi, kod oba roda, do naglog porasta broja ne-SIE autorstava. Ne možemo znati radi li se ili ne o početku novog trenda. Na subuzorku prvih autorstava dobiveni su podjednaki rezultati.

Abstract (english)

Although female scientists are in a better position now than they have been historically, there exist indications that gender inequality in favor of men persists in science to this day. This is true for psychology as well, a scientific field that stands at the forefront in the inclusion of women, as women in psychology lag behind men in measures of scientific productivity and impact. Using a sample of authorships of Croatian psychologists published between 2014 and 2020 we analyzed the relationships between the variables of author gender, year of publishing, and journal region. We defined journal region as those journals published either in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) or those published in Western Europe or North America (non-CEE). CEE journals generally have a more modest impact, and most articles in that group were published in
Croatian journals. We found the existence of gender inequality by journal region: although female authorships outnumbered male ones in both regions, instances of male authorship were relatively overrepresented in non-CEE journals and relatively
underrepresented in CEE journals, while for women it was the reverse. Both male and female instances of authorship saw an increase over the measured period. Looking at male and female instances of authorship separately through time, up until 2020 the ratio of CEE to non-CEE instances of authorship remained stable, but 2020 saw, in both genders, a sharp uptick in instances of non-CEE authorships. We are unable to tell whether or not this signifies the beginning of a new trend. A subsample of first authorships yielded comparable results.
