一句话：基于性别研究框架定量检验 GitHub 上的性别偏见效应，发现平台层面大多不可见，但女性工作更集中且沟通更克制。
软件开发领域长期由男性主导，性别多样性不足，性别偏见被认为是原因之一。本文基于性别研究文献中的框架，将其提出的四类主要偏见效应适配为关于 GitHub 的假设，并利用平台数据对这些假设进行定量检验。结果表明，性别偏见效应在 GitHub 平台本身大多不可见，但仍存在女性将工作集中在更少场所、在沟通中比男性更克制的信号。研究揭示了平台表层之下可能存在的性别差异。
Diversity, including gender diversity, is valued by many software development organizations, yet the field remains dominated by men. One reason for this lack of diversity is gender bias. In this paper, we study the effects of that bias by using an existing framework derived from the gender studies literature.We adapt the four main effects proposed in the framework by posing hypotheses about how they might manifest on GitHub,then evaluate those hypotheses quantitatively. While our results how that effects of gender bias are largely invisible on the GitHub platform itself, there are still signals of women concentrating their work in fewer places and being more restrained in communication than men.
