• Teachers’ Bias Against the Mathematical Ability of Female, Black, and Hispanic Students (2019, background): “These messages potentially contribute to their self-efficacy, self-competence, and decision to select a STEM career (Eccles & Wang, 2016; Kim, Sinatra, & Seyranian, 2018).”
• “I’m Not a Science Nerd!” (2018, methodology): “One study (Eccles & Wang, 2016) found that girls who attached more value to family were less likely to enter STEM careers as adults, perhaps due to perceiving STEM as unconducive to family life.”
