As a society being the flag bearer of gender discrimination, understanding gender difference in academic performance and risk taking behaviour among male and female students is of significant importance. Despite the increasing number of male students entering the nursing profession, the dominance of female in this field and prevailing social stereotypes, along with a lack of male role models, could potentially have a detrimental effect on their motivation, academic performance and willingness to take risk.
