Many of the apparently foregone conclusions of the research are borne out by the comments presented in the article, and thus the perceived bias in the article might actual represent an accurate reflection of real-world scenarios and attitudes.

Results
The findings of the study were largely mixed and not entirely conclusive, in part due to the acknowledged subjectivity of the data and the collection process (Watts 2009).

The management paradox is another item of confusion identified in the construction industry; the female managers are thought to manage "differently," meaning in an innovative and therefore better manner, women in management positions are actually emulating the same "masculine" management styles that have been prevalent in the industry in previous eras, feeling forced to behave in such ways in order to attain and retain such positions (Watts 2009).
