最近的研究已经开始探索基督教本科生和教师在生物学的经验，以阐明他们代表性不足的原因。在这项研究中，我们专注于研究生的经验，并探讨基督教作为一个隐藏的污名化的身份（CSI）在生物界。我们使用这个CSI框架构建了访谈问题，它起源于社会心理学，研究那些可能被隐藏的污名化身份的经历。我们分析了33名就读于生物学课程的基督徒研究生的访谈，发现许多基督徒研究生认为生物学社区对基督徒持有强烈的负面刻板印象，并担心这些负面刻板印象会被应用到他们身上。我们发现学生们隐藏自己的基督教身份以避免负面刻板印象，并透露自己的身份以抵消负面刻板印象。尽管有这些经验，学生们认识到他们的价值作为大多数世俗科学界和大多数基督教公众之间的边界。最后，我们发现基督徒学生报告说，他们拥有的其他身份，包括种族，性别，国籍和LGBTQ+身份，可以增加或减少他们的基督教身份在生物学社区的相关性。
Recent research has begun to explore the experiences of Christian undergraduates and faculty in biology to illuminate reasons for their underrepresentation. In this study, we focused on the experiences of graduate students and explored Christianity as a concealable stigmatized identity (CSI) in the biology community. We constructed interview questions using this CSI framework, which originates in social psychology, to research the experiences of those with stigmatized identities that could be hidden. We analyzed interviews from 33 Christian graduate students who were enrolled in biology programs and found that many Christian graduate students believe the biology community holds strong negative stereotypes against Christians and worry those negative stereotypes will be applied to them as individuals. We found that students conceal their Christian identities to avoid negative stereotypes and reveal their identities to counteract negative stereotypes. Despite these experiences, students recognize their value as boundary spanners between the majority secular scientific community and majority Christian public. Finally, we found that Christian students report that other identities they have, including ethnicity, gender, nationality, and LGBTQ+ identities, can either increase or decrease the relevance of their Christian identities within the biology community.
