Females also reported a more internallocus of control and lower level of motivation towards construction education than malestudents; however, the differences were not statistically significant (α = 0.05).Results suggest that female students were less confident in their abilities regarding constructioneducation and were more likely to express an internal locus of control. A low levels of self-efficacy has been linked in previous research to poor performance and low retention amongfemale students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs.
