Gendered educational and occupational choices: Applying the Eccles et al. model of achievement-related choices (2011, methodology): “…and college majoring in the physical sciences and engineering are mediated by gender differences in the relative subjective task values attached to these fields compared to other fields (Eccles, Barber, & Jozefowicz, 1999; Eccles, 2007; Nagy, Garrett, Trautwein, Cortina, Baumert, & Eccles, 2008).”
Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “Conformity cues as to who should engage in certain behaviors, and what activities are permissible for boys or girls, come from peers, parents, and the media (Martin and Ruble 2004; Matthews 2007), and this has implications for intellectual domains that are masculine or feminine dominated (Eccles 200”
The Influence of Self-Perception of Abilities and Attribution Styles on Academic Choices: Implications for Gifted Education (2010, background): “Eccles (2007) suggested that educators need to help females to evaluate and pursue now male-dominated occupational areas, such as physical science and engineering, by providing them information about the importance of these fields.”
The Roles of Perceived Identity Compatibility and Social Support for Women in a Single-Sex STEM Program at a Co-educational University (2011, background): “Students may question their belonging in their STEM major as they encounter both positive experiences that affirm their place in the major, and negative experiences that undermine their engagement (e.g., Eccles 2005; Eccles 2007).”
Attributional gender bias: teachers’ ability and effort explanations for students’ math performance (2014, background): “…Despite narrow or, in many cases, absent gender gaps in math achievement, gender differences persist in terms of men’s predominance in math-related occupations, particularly in physical sciences and engineering (Eccles 2007; Halpern et al. 2007; Hyde and Mertz 2009; Scafidi and Bui 2010).”
Stemming the tide: Predicting women engineers' intentions to leave ☆ (2013, background): “For example, vocational psychologists have extensively examined how women choose to enter STEM careers and a number of educational psychologists have examined factors involved in promoting women's preparation for STEM careers (Eccles (Parsons) et al., 1983; Eccles, 2007).”
Navigating Social Roles in Pursuit of Important Goals: A Communal Goal Congruity Account of STEM Pursuits (2013, methodology): “Our model generally adopts an expectancy-value framework (e.g., Eccles, 1994, 2007), in which social roles provide an opportunity structure that people navigate in order to maximize the attainment of their valued goals.”
Career success: The role of teenage career aspirations, ambition value and gender in predicting adult social status and earnings (2010, background): “…females choose less prestigious positions in the labour market (Arbona, 1991; Herzog, 1982; Raffaele Mendez & Crawford, 2002; Shapka, Domene, & Keating, 2006) and place greater value on jobs that help them to fit in family role plans (e.g. see, Eccles, 2007; Frome, Alfeld, Eccles, & Barber, 2006).”
Majoring in STEM—What Accounts for Women's Career Decision Making? A Mixed Methods Study (2014, background): “Similarly, some studies provide evidence that attaching a lower value to people-oriented job aspects, such as helping others, is one of the most important factors in predicting the choice of a major in physics or mathematics (Eccles, 2007; Poglia & Molo, 2007).”
Motivation for learning science in kindergarten: Is there a gender gap and does integrated inquiry and literacy instruction make a difference (2009, background): “…extensively in research with older students to document science-related beliefs and explore pathways to individuals’ choices, including career choices (e.g., Eccles, 2007; Jacobs, Finken, Griffin, & Wright, 1998; Jovanovic & King, 1998; Simpkins, Davis-Kean, & Eccles, 2006; Simpson & Oliver, 1990).”
Directionality of the Associations of High School Expectancy-Value, Aspirations, and Attainment (2015, background): “In her extension of the model to educational and occupational choices, Eccles (2007, 2009) argued that individuals make choices based on their expectancies to meet the educational demands and success at a given career and for the value they place on that particular educational or occupational goal.”
Distinct Influences of Mothers and Fathers on Kindergartners’ Numeracy Performance: The Role of Math Anxiety, Home Numeracy Practices, and Numeracy Expectations (2017, background): “, 2012) or could be related to children’s higher math self-concepts (Eccles, 2007).”
