背景虽然先前的研究对工科学生的同一性发展提供了强有力的描述，但与学生的羞耻情感经历有关的文献存在差距，这支持了社会对其职业形成的期望。目的我们调查美国白人男性工科学生的职业羞耻生活经历。我们将职业羞耻定义为一种痛苦的情绪状态，当一个人感觉到他们没有达到与他们在职业领域的身份相关的社会构建的期望或标准时发生的一种痛苦的情绪状态。方法我们对来自研究机构和教学机构的9名白人男性工程专业学生进行了非结构化访谈。我们使用解释现象学分析来检验访谈记录。结果发现，四个主题与参与者如何体验职业羞耻有关。首先，他们就自己在工程领域的全球或整体身份进行了谈判。其次，他们在职业环境中经历了身份受到的威胁。第三，参与者对威胁的回应方式突出了他们认为自己失败的标准。最后，他们通过重建羞耻经历和寻求社会联系来修复自己的身份。结论研究结果表明，职业羞耻现象与职业认同发展是相互交织的。在经历职业羞耻时，白人男性学生可能会为自己和他人重现羞耻经历。这一发现对来自代表性不足群体的成员进行自我比较的标准具有重要意义，并为了解占主导地位的群体对工程文化的社会构建提供了洞察。
BackgroundAlthough prior research has provided robust descriptions of engineering students' identity development, a gap in the literature exists related to students' emotional experiences of shame, which undergird the socially constructed expectations of their professional formation.PurposeWe examined the lived experiences of professional shame among White male engineering students in the United States. We conceptualize professional shame to be a painful emotional state that occurs when one perceives they have failed to meet socially constructed expectations or standards that are relevant to their identity in a professional domain.MethodWe conducted unstructured interviews with nine White male engineering students from both a research‐focused institution and a teaching‐focused institution. We used interpretative phenomenological analysis to examine the interview transcripts.ResultsThe findings demonstrated four themes related to how participants experienced professional shame. First, they negotiated their global, or holistic, identities in the engineering domain. Second, they experienced threats to their identities within professional contexts. Third, participants responded to threats in ways that gave prominence to the standards they perceived themselves to have failed. Finally, they repaired their identities through reframing shame experiences and seeking social connection.ConclusionsThe findings demonstrate that the professional shame phenomenon is interwoven with professional identity development. In experiencing professional shame, White male students might reproduce the shame experience for themselves and others. This finding has important implications for the standards against which members from underrepresented groups may compare themselves and provides insight into the social construction of engineering cultures by dominant groups.
