这项研究考察了校园种族气候感知和其他大学环境对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)专业不同种族女性总体归属感的贡献。样本包括1,722名来自2004年全国生活学习项目研究的女性。综合Weidman(1989)的大学生社会化模型、Astin(1991)的I-E-O模型和Merten(2005)的变革性研究视角的概念框架，解释了总体归属感的29%的差异。种族/民族、对校园种族气氛和宿舍气氛的看法以及学术自信是重要的预测因素。讨论了在STEM中支持妇女的意义。
This study examined the contributions of campus racial climate perceptions and other college environments to overall sense of belonging among racially diverse women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. The sample included 1,722 women from the 2004 National Study of Living-Learning Programs. Using a conceptual framework that integrated Weidman's (1989) undergraduate socialization model, Astin's (1991) I-E-O model, and Mertens' (2005) transformative research perspective, 29% of the variance in overall sense of belonging was explained. Race/ethnicity, perceptions of the campus racial climate and the residence hall climate, and academic self-confidence emerged as significant predictors. Implications for supporting women in STEM are discussed.
