Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students (2012, background): “The formative predoctoral years are a critical window, because students’ experiences at this juncture shape both their beliefs about their own abilities and subsequent persistence in science (30, 31).”
Stereotype threat as a barrier to women entering engineering careers (2017, background): “Furthermore, the barriers identified in Luzzo and McWhirter’s scale include items concerned with gender discrimination and overlap with those identified in barrier research among women in engineering (Fouad et al., 2010; Miller et al., 2015).”
Mexican American middle school students' goal intentions in mathematics and science: A test of social cognitive career theory. (2007, background): “Lent et al. (1994) argued that SCCT represents an integration of variables that are common across a number of career theories.”

The Relations of Ethnicity to Female Engineering Students' Educational Experiences and College and Career Plans in an Ethnically Diverse Learning Environment (2008, background): “While SCCT has often been applied to the math and science domain (Lent et al., 2001; Lent, Lopez, and Bieschke, 1993), fewer studies have focused on engineering students, particularly with samples of women and students of color (Blaisdell, 1998; Hackett et al.”
Career optimism: The roles of contextual support and career decision-making self efficacy (2015, background): “This is due to their direct influence on students' learning experiences (Lent et al., 2001, 2002).”
Predicting Occupational Interests and Choice Aspirations in Portuguese High School Students: A Test of Social Cognitive Career Theory. (2010, methodology): “However, the paths from social supports and barriers to choice did not conform with SCCT’s direct-effects predictions, though they were largely consistent with Bandura’s (1999, 2000) indirect-effects hypothesis and with other findings on the choice model (e.g., Lent et al., 2001).”
