Event Timeline

@DarTar based on the literature review (T175215) individual differences in aversion to conflict and self-confidence are the two main items that can cause the reduction in diversity in Wikipedia's editor pool when it comes to the imbalance in gender diversity. As explained in the the documentation on meta, TP12 will focus on the issue of self-confidence and how to boost that.

With the earlier literature review and our added work this quarter to dig deeper in the literature, I assess that we have a good grasp of the state of research in this area, and we are ready to call this objective/task as resolved and move on to the next two. Please review and let me know.

This objective is done. I added a [Done] tag to the title of the task to capture this, for our readability of research-program board.
