Abstract
⺠We analyze the question why women avoid to enter a competiton. ⺠We use the Big Five personality variables to understand the underlying causes. ⺠Performance in a competitive setting is negatively influenced by neuroticism. ⺠The gender difference in entering a competiton is mediated by neuroticism. ⺠Those highest in neuroticism seem to “know” that they should not enter competition.
