Sunderman, Hannah M.; Hastings, Lindsay J. – International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education, 2023
Purpose: Generativity, defined as care for the next generation, is a hallmark of developmental theory (Erikson, 1950). Mentoring is an antecedent to generativity (Doerwald "et al.," 2021), with college students who mentor demonstrating higher generativity than their peers (Hastings "et al.," 2015). Yet no research has studied…

David M. Marx; Sei Jin Ko; Vitorino A. da Rosa – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Past laboratory work has shown that exposure to similar peers who represent success in STEM (i.e., math-talented female peer role models) can bolster female college students' math performance and STEM experiences. What is less clear is how students at intersecting identities of gender, ethnicity, and math identification differ in their similarity…

We use administrative records of a German public university, covering all programs and courses between 2006 and 2018. We find that gender match effects on student performance are sizable in smaller classes,…
