The differences in gender opportunities in the field of science and technology are still a gap, in addition to the probable psychological and emotional effects that are of interest in the study because it analyzes and objectively relates the implications of gender and risks for predisposition to anxious behavior in university science and technology students. The participants are 4th and 5th year, of different specialties, the sample was constituted by 368 (192 women and 176 men), who carry out research activities. Methods: Two instruments were applied: a questionnaire on Gender Implications and the IDARE scale to measure anxiety. Results show that students participate more in research activities but also obtain higher levels of “state” anxiety. Family life, living alone, with relatives, tasks within the home, participation and contributions to scientific knowledge were evaluated. Students show greater anxiety “status” when participating in study circles, as part of funded research, as opposed to paternity and economic responsibility in the home. Highlight that there are clear indications of affectations (anxiety) to psychological health emotional by vertical and horizontal segregation of gender.

Keywords : gender; anxiety: State-Trait.
