- The Roles of Perceived Identity Compatibility and Social Support for Women in a Single-Sex STEM Program at a Co-educational University (2011, background): “…from male peers as well as male professors, and they often have lower self-confidence in STEM domains than men, despite equal or even higher levels of achievement (e.g., Erwin and Maurutto 1998; Ferreira 2003; Hollenshead et al. 1994; Meinholdt and Murray 1999; Warrington and Younger 2000).”
- What do we know about explanations for drop out/opt out among young people from STM higher education programmes? (2010, unknown): “A more fundamental change in the working culture in academia is needed to attract more female students, but also alternative options for those students who might consider a career in science other than research in academia (Ferreira, 2003).”
- The Influences of Perceived Identity Compatibility and Social Support on Women in Nontraditional Fields During the College Transition (2011, background): “There is considerable evidence that female college students in STEM recognize that they are in a more hostile environment than their male peers; women report not having as much positive contact with faculty as do men and having fewer opportunities for achievement and advancement (eg, Ferreira, 2003”
- Student enthusiasm for engineering: charting changes in student aspirations and motivation (2008, background): “Concerns of gender disparities in, for example, student attrition and career progression (Ferreira 2003 ), positive college experiences (Jacobs 1996 ) and general barriers to participation (Evans 1995 , Ingram and Parker 2002 ) have been widely reported.”
