Reporting Structural Equation Modeling and Confirmatory Factor Analysis Results: A Review (2006, methodology): “Wang and Staver (2001) discussed why several indexes were needed; Quirk and colleagues (2001) indicated the standards for a good fit in a Notes section; Singh, Granville, and Dika (2002) and Wong and Watkins (1998) listed the goodness-of-fit statistics in a table but gave no interpretation of their…”
Young Children's Aspirations in Science: The unequivocal, the uncertain and the unthinkable (2013, background): “In addition, parental support of maths and science and related careers seemed to encourage career interests in maths and science and related career aspirations and choices (Baker & Leary, 1995 ; Gilmartin, Li, & Aschbacher, 2006 ; Turner, Steward, & Lapan, 2004 ; Wang & Staver, 2001 ).”
Eyeballs in the Fridge: Sources of early interest in science (2010, background): “The importance of career aspirations in student persistence in science has been discussed elsewhere (e.g., Mau, 2003; Wang & Staver, 2001), but, as the name implies, these studies involve the intentions of students, not actual distal outcomes.”
Pipeline persistence: Examining the association of educational experiences with earned degrees in STEM among U.S. students (2011, methodology): “An analysis of Longitudinal Study of American Youth data indicated that among a wide variety of factors, instructional quantity, student achievement and attitude toward science held significant associations with career aspirations in science fields (Wang & Staver, 2001).”
A Multilevel Modelling Approach to Investigating Factors Impacting Science Achievement for Secondary School Students: PISA Hong Kong Sample (2012, unknown): “…and generalizable since they are grounded upon wide-ranging syntheses from thousands of research literature, with a particular emphasis on meta-analyses and econometric analyses of (mostly national) large-scale surveys that reveal the causes of achievement (Walberg, 1984; Wang & Staver, 2001).”
