Sources of Inspiration: The role of significant persons in young people's choice of science in higher education (2012, result): “These results support the conclusion of Buck et al. (2008) where the interpersonal relationship was identified as a key factor for attitude change among girls towards STEM scientists.”
Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. (2010, background): “Furthermore, girls and young women have been found to be aware of, and negatively affected by, the stereotypical image of a scientist as a man (Buck et al., 2008).”
My Fair Physicist? Feminine Math and Science Role Models Demotivate Young Girls (2012, background): “Since they hold a less clearly defined sense of self and a foggier picture of what careers entail (Buck et al., 2008), it may be critical that young girls be able to concretely imagine themselves in the role model’s place.”
Who wants to have a career in science or math? Exploring adolescents' future aspirations by gender and race/ethnicity. (2011, background): “Because White males have historically dominated STEM occupational fields, both in sheer number and in people’s perceptions of the normative picture of a scientist, we consider them the relevant reference group (Buck et al., 2008; Clewell, Anderson, & Thorpe, 1992; Seymour & Hewitt, 1997).”
