- Social Influences on Interest (2016, background): “Robnett and Leaper (2013) found that STEM career interest increased most dramatically among adolescents who had friends who supported STEM interests.”
- Study choice and career development in STEM fields: an overview and integration of the research (2015, background): “References Publication type Design empirical study N Country Age range Sociological themes (SES, cultural capital, family beliefs) Schulenberg et al.

- Towards an Understanding of STEM Engagement: a Review of the Literature on Motivation and Academic Emotions (2019, background): “…found to be important for students’ STEM engagement, performance, coursework selections, and career aspirations (Andersen & Chen, 2016; Guo et al., 2017; Hiller & Kitsantas, 2014; Petersen & Hyde, 2017; Robnett & Leaper, 2013; see Wang & Degol, 2013 for a review) over and beyond prior achievement.”
- Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, background): “Having peers who are supportive of students’ pursuit of science predicts interest (Leaper, Farkas, & Brown, 2012; Robnett & Leaper, 2013; Stake, 2006) and retention (Crosnoe, Riegle-Crumb, Field, Frank, & Muller, 2008; Espinosa, 2011; Stake & Nickens, 2005).”
- Gender Bias in STEM Fields (2016, result): “Both theories have generated an abundance of empirical support, and much of this work illustrates that self-concept predicts achievement and career aspirations in STEM domains (DeBacker & Nelson, 2000; Robnett, Chemers, & Zurbriggen, 2015; Robnett & Leaper, 2013; Watt, 2006).”
