I find this obstruction from senior professors in social psyc who have never coded and say most psych students want to work in "caring professions" and it wastes resources teaching the small number of interested students something "only used in engineering" (sic)

I have never knowingly spoken to a senior prof in social about this (and maybe ever!). Most of the problems I have come from senior profs in comp modeling! Sad to hear it's coming from senior profs in social too, although not surprising at all.

i went to grad school in social psych 30+ years ago, and there was never any question that women were fully able to do all necessary coding.
