• The Effect of Gender and Race Intersectionality on Student Learning Outcomes In Engineering (2015, background): “Asians also demonstrate the highest persistence among students of color (Chen & Weko, 2009).”
• New Routes to Recruiting and Retaining Women in STEM: Policy Implications of a Communal Goal Congruity Perspective (2015, background): “Among all college graduates, women are less likely to enter STEM majors (Chen & Weko, 2009).”

• Patterns of Persistence in Intended College Major with a Focus on STEM Majors. (2010, background): “In a comprehensive study of postsecondary outcomes and student characteristics, Chen (2009) found that among all students entering a STEM field in their first year of postsecondary enrollment, 55% switched to a non-STEM field or left postsecondary education without earning any credential.”
• Improving fraction understanding in sixth graders with mathematics difficulties: Effects of a number line approach combined with cognitive learning strategies. (2019, background): “…skill for enrollment in advanced level mathematics courses as well as many science courses, algebra proficiency leads to a higher rate of college admittance, and eventual pursuit of careers in STEM disciplines (Chen, 2009; Matthews & Farmer, 2008; Schneider, Swanson, & Riegle-Crumb, 1998).”
• Pursuing STEM Careers: Perspectives of Senior High School Students (2020, background): “who graduated in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) strands started choosing a non-STEM field as their major when they enrolled in college (Chen & Weko, 2009).”
• Seeing the Destination AND the Path: Using Identity‐Based Motivation to Understand and Reduce Racial Disparities in Academic Achievement (2017, background): “…Latino, African American, and White students were given moderately difficult GRE (Graduate Record Exam) problems to solve after they had completely an ostensibly unrelated language task in which they were asked to read a paragraph and circle the pronouns (Oyserman, Sorensen, Reber, & Chen, 2009).”
• Seeking Congruity Between Goals and Roles (2010, unknown): “STEM careers were identified from the male-dominated group following accepted definitions of STEM as natural-physical sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (e.g., Chen & Weko, 2009).”
