• Boys’ and girls’ educational choices in secondary education. The role of gender ideology (2016, background): “Researchers have identified liking or enjoying a task or a subject as an important predictor for what educational track students choose (Elsworth et al. 1999; Lyons 2006; Van Langen, Rekers-Mombarg, and Dekkers 2006).”
• How Choosing Science depends on Students' Individual Fit to ‘Science Culture’ (2009, background): “Consistent with this, a study of Danish students identified the ‘feeling’ and ‘reputation’ associated with science as important factors in choosing science as a major (Krogh & Thomson, 2005).”
• Choosing science: understanding the declines in senior high school science enrolments (2010, background): “Certainly previous research has shown that students’ deliberations about physics and chemistry are particularly sensitive to anticipated difficulty (e.g. Osborne & Collins, 2001; Lyons, 2006b).”
