WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES IN THE STEM COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER PATHWAY (2011, background): “Additionally, recent research found that women tend to opt out of science if they see their long-term life goals as incongruent with a career in science (Diekman et al., 2010).”
Why are women underrepresented in Computer Science? Gender differences in stereotypes, self-efficacy, values, and interests and predictors of future CS course-taking and grades (2014, background): “In fact, many women shun STEM careers due to their communal orientation: They do not view STEM careers as supporting those goals (Diekman, Brown, Johnston, & Clark, 2010).”
But You Don’t Look Like A Scientist!: Women Scientists with Feminine Appearance are Deemed Less Likely to be Scientists (2016, neutral): “Women remain disconcertingly underrepresented in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math; National Science Foundation [NSF] 2015), in part due to differential gender roles (Eagly and Wood 2012; Eccles 1987), life goals (Ceci and Williams 2011; Diekman et al. 2010), and gender bias in”
Boys’ and girls’ educational choices in secondary education. The role of gender ideology (2016, background): “Research has shown that women value working with people and emphasise social and altruistic values in their ideal job, whereas men like to work with things and value economic wealth, prestige and status (Diekman et al. 2010; Su, Rounds, and Armstrong 2009).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, positive): “Women are more likely than men to endorse people-oriented goals in choosing a career, including wanting to work with and help others (Diekman et al., 2010).”
The Stereotypical Computer Scientist: Gendered Media Representations as a Barrier to Inclusion for Women (2013, background): “The perception that computer science is technology-oriented rather than people-oriented may cause women to express less interest in the field than men (Diekman et al. 2010).”
Do Female and Male Role Models Who Embody STEM Stereotypes Hinder Women’s Anticipated Success in STEM? (2011, background): “In contrast, the female gender role prescribes many opposing characteristics—helping and working with others, being socially skilled, and attending to physical appearance (Cejka & Eagly, 1999; Diekman et al., 2010; Eagly & Steffen, 1984).”
Algorithmic bias? An empirical study into apparent gender-based discrimination in the display of STEM career ads (2019, background): “Instead, distortions in perceptions about careers in STEM across genders may potentially explain why women do not apply (Diekman et al., 2010).”
LBS Research Online (2021, neutral): “Instead, distortions in perceptions about careers in STEM across genders may potentially explain why women do not apply (Diekman et al., 2010).”
Gender differences in STEM undergraduates' vocational interests: People–thing orientation and goal affordances (2015, background): “…have shown that gender differences in interest in STEM careers are mediated by the importance placed on communal goals, rather than agentic goals (Diekman et al., 2010, 2011) and that women's interest in STEM careers is higher when the communal aspects of the careers are emphasized (Diekman et…”
