Implicit Cues in STEM Environments
-
- STATUS
- Not Recruiting
Summary
A known deterrent to entering or staying in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are perceptions that these fields provide opportunities for success or status, but do not provide opportunities to benefit society or work with others. This research investigates how figure in the field (e.g., potential advisors, professors, or scientists in the public eye) signal the goals that can or cannot be fulfilled in a particular setting. The current study proposes to examine the psychological processes that occur when individuals make inferences about a role from the face of someone who holds power in that role. We propose faces of gatekeepers in STEM (e.g., professors, scientists) operate in perceptual processes in forming beliefs about STEM.
