The experience of women in male-dominated occupations: A constructivist grounded theory inquiry (2013, background): “Organisations are still structured and function in ways that do not always support women’s career patterns and their need to integrate work with family responsibilities (Cha, 2013; Frome et al., 2006).”
Returning to Graduate School: Expectations of Success, Values of the Degree, and Managing the Costs (2013, background): “The EVT lens has provided insight on gender-specific choices (Ceci & Williams, 2007; Frome, Alfeld, Eccles, & Barber, 2006; Battle & Wigfield, 2003), student course choices (Nagy et al., 2006), and student career choices (Frome et al., 2006; Matusovich et al., 2008).”
Gender, work orientations and job satisfaction (2015, result): “This is in line with the workfamily conflict literature which suggests that women are more likely to experience declining interests towards work than men due to increased family roles after they enter this stage of life (Frome et al., 2006; Georgellis et al., 2012).”
STEMulating Interest: A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Out-of-School Time on Student STEM Interest (2016, result): “effect sizes were not statistically significantly different from zero for K–5 studies, but were statistically different from zero for the other grade spans, which is consistent with research that suggests the adolescent years are crucial for STEM interest development and maintenance (Caleon & Subram”
Gender and the Choice of a Science Career: The Impact of Social Support and Possible Selves (2012, background): “Frome and colleagues (Frome et al. 2006) followed 12th grade girls who indicated an interest in “male-dominated” fields until they were 25 years old to examine the factors involved in their decision to either pursue or not pursue a career in these fields.”
The Development of the STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) (2014, background): “Frome et al. (2006) suggest that societal roles and gender play a role in students' self-efficacy and interest.”
Why are women underrepresented in Computer Science? Gender differences in stereotypes, self-efficacy, values, and interests and predictors of future CS course-taking and grades (2014, background): “The best predictor of continued interest was low emphasis on family ﬂ exibility in a job (Frome, Alfeld, Eccles, & Barber, 2006).”
Women employed in male-dominated industries: lessons learned from female aircraft pilots, pilots-in-training and mixed-gender flight instructors (2012, background): “Not only are females less likely to choose careers in male-dominated fields but when they do, they are more likely than males to drop out of these fields (Frome et al. 2006).”
The leaky mathematics pipeline for girls: A motivational analysis of high school enrolments in Australia and the USA (2006, background): “A long-term longitudinal study in the US has shown that many young women opt out of the choice of maths- and other STEM-related careers largely because of their desire for a family-flexible career ( Frome et al. , 2006”
