Abstract:
Girls and women continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and this underrepresentation has been partly attributed to gendered socialization processes early in life. One common feature of girls’ developmental years is the experience of gender discrimination, yet relatively few studies have examined how girls’ own experiences with gender discrimination may shape their connectedness to school and STEM. We examined the unique and interactive effects of girls’ subjective experiences with gender discrimination and implicit gender-science stereotypes on school connectedness and STEM orientation.
