[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in American Psychologist on Sep 19 2024 (see record 2025-24490-001). The name of the author, Amy N. Arndt was incorrectly omitted from the author list in the original article. All versions of this article have been corrected.] Recent studies have found a citation gap in psychology favoring men. This citation gap is subsequently reflected in differences in h-index scores, a crude measure but important one for impact on career advancement. We examine a potential reason for the gap: that male researchers are more likely to come to mind than female researchers (i.e., a difference in memory accessibility). In a survey, faculty from psychology departments in R1 institutions in the United States listed up to five names they considered experts in their field and up to five names they considered rising stars (defined as pretenure) in their field. Results revealed that the proportion of female experts recalled by women generally matched the percentage of more senior female faculty at R1 institutions, whereas the proportion recalled by men was much lower as compared to this baseline. With rising stars, we observed both underrepresentation of women from male participants and, unexpectedly, overrepresentation of women from female participants, as compared to the percentage of more junior female faculty at R1 institutions. For both experts and rising stars, male names were also more likely to be generated earlier in lists by male respondents, but women did not vary in the order in which they listed women versus men. Despite the differences in recall observed in our data, there was no such gap in name recognition, suggesting that the gap is one of accessibility-who comes to mind. Implications and recommendations for psychology researchers are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

我忘记了你的存在：记忆可访问性在性别引用差距中的作用。


[更正通知：本文的勘误于 2024 年 9 月 19 日在《美国心理学家》在线报道（见记录 2025-24490-001）。原文章作者列表中错误地省略了作者艾米·N·阿恩特 (Amy N. Arndt) 的姓名。本文的所有版本均已更正。] 最近的研究发现心理学领域的引用差距有利于男性。这种引用差距随后反映在 h 指数分数的差异上，这是一种粗略的衡量标准，但对职业发展的影响却很重要。我们研究了造成这种差距的一个潜在原因：男性研究人员比女性研究人员更有可能出现在我们的脑海中（即记忆可访问性的差异）。在一项调查中，美国 R1 机构心理学系的教师列出了最多 5 个他们认为是所在领域专家的名字以及最多 5 个他们认为是所在领域的后起之秀（定义为 pretenure）的名字。结果显示，女性召回的女性专家比例总体上与 R1 机构中高级女性教师的比例相当，而男性召回的比例则远低于该基线。对于冉冉升起的新星，我们观察到，与 R1 机构中资历较浅的女性教师的比例相比，男性参与者中女性的比例不足，而女性参与者中女性的比例过高。对于专家和后起之秀来说，男性受访者在名单中更早出现的可能性也更大，但女性在列出女性与男性的顺序上没有变化。尽管我们的数据中观察到的回忆存在差异，但姓名识别方面不存在这样的差距，这表明这种差距是可访问性的差距之一——谁浮现在脑海中。 讨论了对心理学研究人员的影响和建议。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
