Master, Allison; Cheryan, Sapna; Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Computer science has one of the largest gender disparities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. An important reason for this disparity is that girls are less likely than boys to enroll in necessary "pipeline courses," such as introductory computer science. Two experiments investigated whether high-school girls' lower…

Bischoff, Florian; Gassmann, Freya; Emrich, E. – International Journal of Higher Education, 2017
What features lead a student to choose sport science, chemistry, physics, computer science or musicology as their subject of study and the Saarland University Saarbrücken as their place of study? Empirical analysis shows that study conditions for students of chemistry, physics and music do not play an important role in selecting the place of…

Stout, Jane G.; Blaney, Jennifer M. – Computer Science Education, 2017
Research suggests growth mindset, or the belief that knowledge is acquired through effort, may enhance women's sense of belonging in male-dominated disciplines, like computing. However, other research indicates women who spend a great deal of time and energy in technical fields experience a low sense of belonging. The current study assessed the…
