本文对493名工科本科生的工科专业坚持意愿进行了定量研究。使用多元方差分析，男性和女性有一个共同的预测他们的意图坚持，工程职业成果的期望。然而，男性持久性的最佳社会认知预测因素对女性来说并不相同。男性在本科工程学方面的坚持是由他们完成必修课程的能力预测的。女性在本科工程专业的坚持取决于她们对取得好成绩（A或B）的信念。简而言之，女性坚持本科工程的意图取决于与男性相比更高的学术标准。
This is a quantitative study of 493 undergraduate engineering majors’ intentions to persist in their engineering program. Using a multiple analysis of variance analysis, men and women had one common predictor for their intentions to persist, engineering career outcome expectations. However, the best sociocognitive predictor for men’s persistence was not the same for women. Men’s persistence in undergraduate engineering was predicted by their abilities to complete the required coursework. Women’s persistence in undergraduate engineering depended upon their beliefs in getting good grades (A or a B). In brief, women’s intentions to persist in undergraduate engineering were dependent upon higher academic standards compared to men.
