(2006, background): “For the last two decades, African American males’ educational achievement has received serious research attention as it relates to their experiences in education (Bailey, 2003; Grantham, 2004b; Moore et al., 2004; Moore et al., 2003).”
A Qualitative Investigation of African American Males’ Career Trajectory in Engineering: Implications for Teachers, School Counselors, and Parents (2006, background): “The research literature has increasingly documented the significant presence of White males in fields, such as engineering, medicine, and natural sciences (Hrabowski & Maton, 1995; McJamerson McConnel, 1992; Moore et al., 2003; Powell, 1990).”
Mathematics Self-Efficacy and African American Male Students: An Examination of Models of Success (2011, background): “In the collegiate arena, Moore, Madison-Colmore, and Smith (2003) used a grounded theory approach to explore persistence among African American male engineering majors at a predominantly white university.”
Recruitment Is Not Enough: Retaining African American Students in Gifted Education (2005, background): “According to Sedlacek (1991, 1998) and others (FriesBritt & Turner, 2001; Herndon, 2003; Moore, 2001; Moore et al., 2003), students who are able to cope with racism are more likely to persist at PWEIs.”
“You Would Not Believe What I Have to Go Through to Prove My Intellectual Value!” Stereotype Management Among Academically Successful Black Mathematics and Engineering Students (2011, background): “The prove-them-wrong syndrome was described by Moore et al. (2003) to explain the academic and social experiences, attitudes, and personality characteristics of persistent African American males pursuing engineering degrees.”
Black Male College Achievers and Resistant Responses to Racist Stereotypes at Predominantly White Colleges and Universities (2015, background): “According to Patton (2002), criterion sampling is the strict inclusion of participants who satisfy some specific, predetermined set of qualifiers; it is especially useful for in-depth qualitative interviews, as the accuracy of participants’ shared experiences is more easily ascertained, thus enhanci”
