• The Stereotypical Computer Scientist: Gendered Media Representations as a Barrier to Inclusion for Women (2013, background): “These media representations are especially troubling considering that children report that television, movies , and magazines constitute their primary source of information about what scientists are like (Fort and Varney 1989; Steinke et al. 2007).”
• Cultural stereotypes as gatekeepers: increasing girls’ interest in computer science and engineering by diversifying stereotypes (2015, background): “Yet highschool students report that their ideas about what scientists are like are influenced more by the media than by any other source (Steinke et al., 2007).”
• Women's Representation in Science Predicts National Gender-Science Stereotypes: Evidence from 66 Nations. (2015, background): “…may explain why experimental studies have revealed that exposure to successful women engineers and mathematicians have not consistently weakened gender-STEM stereotypes (Ramsey, Betz, & Sekaquaptewa, 2013; Steinke et al., 2007; Stout, Dasgupta, Hunsinger, & McManus, 2011; Young et al., 2013).”
