I am just catching up on some interesting reading.  Separating out the
other cultural effects would be tough, but I think you can do it.  I
suggested in a letter to the original author to contact a friend who is
a psychology prof (interested in these types of studies: learning
programming and separately, gender stuff).  In addition, you might also
look at other backgrounds.  Until recently, it was known that software
work was held in high regard in Japan, in fact considered `woman's work.'
You might also perform some cross-cultural studies as well.
