Dwan Robinson; Julie Suhr; Melissa Buelow – Journal of American College Health, 2025
Objective: Imposterism and academic self-handicapping (ASH) are related to negative outcomes in college students. We examined whether the relationship between imposterism and academic goal orientations is mediated by ASH across men and women and for students who are underrepresented on campus. Participants: Participants were 852 undergraduates…

Kalender, Z. Yasemin; Marshman, Emily; Schunn, Christian D.; Nokes-Malach, Timothy J.; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Physics is a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics discipline in which women are severely underrepresented. Prior work has identified motivation-based explanations for low participation and retention rates of women in physics. Among various motivational factors, intelligence mindsets (i.e., having fixed or growth mindsets) have been…

Di Pietro, Giorgio – Higher Education Quarterly, 2022
Although it is well-established that female participation in study abroad programmes is higher than the male participation, less is known about how this gap has changed over time. Using student-level data from the nationally representative surveys of three European countries (France, Germany and Italy), this paper begins by examining changes in…

Qingyang Zhang; Rose E. Wang; Ana T. Ribeiro; Dorottya Demszky; Susanna Loeb – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2025
Educator attention is critical for student success, yet how educators distribute their attention across students remains poorly understood due to data and methodological constraints. This study presents the first large-scale computational analysis of educator attention patterns, leveraging over 1 million educator utterances from virtual group…

Ida Gran Andersen; Emil Smith – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2024
Although women's representation in STEM fields and occupations has increased, science and math continue to be stereotyped as male domains. This paper links psychological and sociological explanations for gendered disparities in STEM by examining the relationship between the local "micro-situational" female learning environment and the…

Harrington, Rachel E.; Thijssen, Job H. J.; Hardy, Judy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The academic performance of undergraduate physics students at a research-intensive UK university were studied to identify whether there were any significant differences between underrepresented and overrepresented groups. Exit qualification, degree classification, average yearly marks, and course marks were analyzed to determine statistically…

Bowman, Nicholas A.; Logel, Christine; LaCosse, Jennifer; Jarratt, Lindsay; Canning, Elizabeth A.; Emerson, Katherine T. U.; Murphy, Mary C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Substantial gender equity gaps in postsecondary degree completion persist within many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, and these disparities have not narrowed during the 21st century. Various explanations of this phenomenon have been offered; one possibility that has received limited attention is that the…

Dondre Lamar Harris – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The exploration of dissecting gifted and talented programs combined with student advancement and academic success is one daunting but doable. The purpose of this study was to investigate the equity of the gifted and talented program while analyzing the achievement scores of these students compared to their peers. This quantitative study includes…

Luis Herskovic; Josefina Silva – Educational Studies, 2024
Although it is well documented that women are under-represented in STEM majors, the causes of this under-representation in different contexts are less clear. This article studies the relevance of absolute and relative performance in high school courses on STEM field enrollment when entering college in Chile. We use administrative countrywide data…

Li, Yangqiuting; Whitcomb, Kyle; Singh, Chandralekha – Physics Teacher, 2020
Physics has historically been portrayed as a field for brilliant men. Many prior studies have focused on the reasons for women's underrepresentation in physics and related disciplines from different perspectives and strategies to improve the learning environments so that all students can excel in physics courses. Due to societal stereotypes, women…

Alex Pfundt; Laurel M. Peterson – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2024
Undergraduates' use of academic libraries is associated with academic achievement, but library research resources are underutilized, and little is known about what factors contribute to students' use of these resources. A random sample of undergraduate students from a historically women's college in the United States (N = 207; 59.2% white; 87.7%…

Isabelle Plante; Kathryn Everhart Chaffee; Evelyne Gauthier; Elizabeth Olivier; Véronique Dupéré – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: In the past decades, there has been a growing concern to understand why boys struggle in school. One of the turning points in students' educational trajectories likely to exacerbate boys' academic difficulties is students' enrolment in private or enriched school programmes, as boys are underrepresented in such programmes. Method: To…

Dalton D. Marsh; Sheree T. Sharpe; Suzanne E. Graham – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2024
This study aimed to better understand the relationships between U.S. high school students' STEM-related educational experiences, expectancy-value attitudes, achievement, course-taking, and college major choices. Analyses employed data from three waves of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) and used structural equation modeling to…

Halkiyo, Atota B.; Hailu, Meseret F. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Black women students in engineering higher education are underrepresented and often face barriers at the nexus of race, gender, and engineering. When seeking to improve student outcomes, universities often prioritize academic success and neglect psychological, social, and emotional well-being. Little is known about why and how Black…

The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) is the most widely used norm-referenced creativity test used in gifted identification. Although commonly used for identifying talent, little is known about how creativity tests, like the TTCT-Figural, contribute to the probability of being identified as gifted especially with underrepresented…
