Im Rahmen einer Studie, die sich mit den Ursachen für die geringere Promotionsneigung von Frauen im Fach Mathematik befasst, werden die Attributionen von Erfolg und Misserfolg in typischen Studiensituationen untersucht. Für Studentinnen und Studenten der Studiengänge Diplom und Lehramt an Gymnasien wird außerdem beschrieben, wie sich die Unterschiede im Attributionsverhalten auf die Einstellungen zu einer möglichen Promotion auswirken. Die hier vorgestellten Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein ungünstigeres Attributionsverhalten der Frauen im Zusammenhang mit weniger positiven Einstellungen zur Promotion steht. In the course of a study dealing with the reason why female students are less interested in gaining a doctorate in mathematics, we examined the attributions of success and failure in some typical learning situations. We describe for female and male students of the two courses of study, diploma and «Lehramt an Gymnasien», in what way differences in attribution behaviour influence the attitudes towards a doctor’s degree. The results introduced here show that a more disadvantageous attribution behaviour of women is related to a less positive attitude towards a doctor’s degree.

In the course of publishing our previous paper [1] the editors unfortunately ignored the improved version we had submitted in time. This latest version was prepared in response to the very helpful and thorough critique of the referee. The differences between the two versions of the paper do not affect the actual results but concern the clearness of the exposition. In the following we will not specify all changes we made for the revised version but restrict ourselves to supplement the argumentation.

For a translation plane P with respect to f we consider the group of collineations S generated by all elations fixing f and a point F of f. All subgroups G or S are determined which operate regularly on the points of the affine plane P. Group-theoretic and operating properties of the groups G are stated especially for the finite and the Desarguesian cases. In the latter case the companion NL-near modules are constructed. Finally we characterize the groups G within PGL(3, K) with commutative field K of finite characteristic.
