摘要
本研究旨在探討高中女學生之科學家意象及其性別取向的關係，研究對象為高二自然組和社會組女學生各兩班共118人。以主題統覺測驗收集學生持有的科學家意象，並以語意分化量表分析學生之科學家、人文學家、男生、女生和自我意象間的關係。研究主要發現如下：
一、自然組與社會組女學生科學家意象的差異
（一） 對於女科學家的成功歸因而言，社會組相較自然組有較多外在不穩定不可控的歸因。
（二） 對於男科學家成功歸因而言，自然組相較社會組有較多外在穩定不可控的歸因。
二、科學家形象的性別取向與自我形象的性別取向關係
（一）在科學認同程度不同的組群中，認同科學的學生（自然組女學生），自我形象的性別維度和科學家的性別維度相符（皆具男性特質），而和人文學家的性別維度相差較多；而認同人文者（社會組女學生）自我的性別維度和人文學家的性別維度相符（皆具女性特質），而和科學家的性別維度相差較多。
（二）在性別認同程度不同的組群中，較認同女性者（女性化者），自我形象的性別維度和女生的性別維度相同（皆具女性特質），且科學家形象、人文學家形象亦皆位於女性維度；而較認同男性者（男性化者），自我的性別維度和男生的性別維度相同（皆具男性特質），而科學家形象亦位於男性維度。

Abstract
This study intented to investigate the relationships between high school girls' scientist image and their gender tendency. One hundred eighteen 11th graders of a girl school in Tainan were sampled as participants, they are ethier science or non-science majors.The Thematic Apperception Test was employed to investigate the scientist images they held, and "the semantic differential scale" was applied to analyze the relationships among students' images of scientists, literature writers, boys, girls, and self:
Our major findings are listed as the follows:
1. There are differences of scientist image between science majors group and non-science majors group. As for the attributions for success of female scientists, non-science majors group tends to have external, uncontrollable and unstable attributions.
2. The relationships between gender tendency and their images of scientist and self be stated as the follows:
(1) For science major girl, their gender identity is similar with that of scientist, which is somehow masculine and different from that of literature writhers. For non-science major girl student, their self gender identity is just on the other way around.
(2) For those students who are more feminine, the gender characteristics of self image is the same as that of girls, and also the images of scientists and literature writers tends to be more feminine. For those with more masculine identity, the result is just the opposite of this.
