I'd be curious to see how the survey questions were worded. It could be possible the female participants were more likely to admit to having imposter syndrome, even though a similar number of males have the same confidence issues.
Also, high school curriculum may be a big factor that isn't addressed. Getting higher grades in irrelevant subjects would be less valuable than average grades in courses that provide an introduction to software development.
