From the Paper:

"One of the more interesting discussions of the epistemological development of college students was provided by William Perry in his work with students at Harvard. Perry developed a map of the epistemological development of his students. Although some of the students interviewed originally were women, when he published his research, all the subjects included were male. This immediately biased the study, although Perry later indicated that the women interviewed followed the same sequence of stages as the men."
