Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. (2010, background): “Many people consider spatial skills to be important for success in fields like engineering, although the connection between spatial abilities and success in STEM careers is not definitive (Ceci et al., 2009).”
The challenges of teaching and learning about science in the twenty-first century: exploring the abilities and constraints of adolescent learners (2012, background): “Young women and minorities are under-represented in science careers in the academy and in business and industry, for a variety of reasons (Ceci, Williams, & Barnett, 2009 ; Quimby, Wolfson, & Seyala, 2007).”
Motivational Pathways to STEM Career Choices: Using Expectancy-Value Perspective to Understand Individual and Gender Differences in STEM Fields. (2013, background): “and females, it is important to note that the research on gender differences to date has been mostly inconclusive (Ceci et al., 2009).”
Science Interests in Preschool Boys and Girls: Relations to Later Self-Concept and Science Achievement. (2013, result): “This study both extends previous literature and contributes to research investigating the ongoing gender discrepancy in science-related careers (Ceci et al., 2009; Hyde, 2005; Pinker, 2005; Spelke, 2005) by evaluating and assessing factors that could be associated with children’s early scientific…”
Young Children's Aspirations in Science: The unequivocal, the uncertain and the unthinkable (2013, neutral): “Ceci, Williams, & Barnett, 2009 ; Murphy & Beggs, 2005 ).”
Keeping Women in the Science Pipeline (2011, background): “…the pipeline in the sciences before obtaining tenure at a college or university (Long 2001; Mason and Goulden 2002, 2004a, 2004b; American Council on Education 2005; Nelson 2007; Committee on Maximizing the Potential of Women 2007; Ceci, Williams, and Barnett 2009; Goulden, Frasch, and Mason 2009).”
Understanding current causes of women's underrepresentation in science (2011, background): “There are significant sex differences in hours worked and lifestyle preferences (58), and having children early in one’s career exerts more downward pressure on pretenure women than men (4, 52, 53).”
Gender differences in STEM undergraduates' vocational interests: People–thing orientation and goal affordances (2015, background): “Gender differences in interests are reliable, in contrast to those in science and math abilities, which are not consistently found (Ceci et al., 2009; Su et al., 2009).”
Women in Academic Science: Experimental Findings From Hiring Studies (2018, background): “We have looked at math and spatial ability in a number of ways and concluded that although there are somewhat large sex differences at the right tail of the standardized gatekeeping exams (SAT-M, GRE-Q), these differences cannot fully explain the smaller fractions of women in graduate school or on t”
