这项研究探讨了在线视频对科学态度的影响，这些态度导致了STEM参与中的性别差异。它的理论框架建立在媒体对科学态度和性别图式的影响的研究之上。特别是，它借鉴了社会认知理论，认为科学传播中的媒体模式可以影响受众。一项随机实验测试了来自YouTube频道的三个视频的影响，艾米丽格拉斯利的大脑独家报道，对科学兴趣，科学自我概念，科学焦虑，科学家的看法，以及大学生对科学性别偏见的看法。结果表明，一个女性传播者直接解决科学中的性别歧视的视频塑造了大学生对科学家的积极看法和对科学中性别偏见的看法。更广泛地说，这些发现强化了促进STEM领域公平性别代表性的挑战，以及使用YouTube科学频道等新媒体形式来应对这些挑战的承诺。
This study examines the impact of online videos on science attitudes that contribute to gender disparities in STEM participation. Its theoretical framework builds on research regarding media effects on science attitudes and gender schemas. In particular, it draws on social cognitive theory to argue that media models in science communication can influence audience members. A randomized experiment tested the effects of three videos from a YouTube channel, The Brain Scoop with Emily Graslie , on science interest, self-concept in science, science anxiety, perceptions of scientists, and perceptions of gender bias in science among university students. The results showed that a video in which a female communicator directly addresses sexism in science shaped university students’ positive perceptions of scientists and perceptions of gender bias in science. More broadly, the findings reinforce both the challenges in promoting equitable gender representation in STEM and the promise of using new media forms such as YouTube science channels to address these challenges.
