女性在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的代表性仍然很低，这些男性主导的领域经常被描述为“冷淡”和不欢迎女性。本研究以363名STEM女本科生为被试，考察了寒冷气候对女科学家身份认同干扰和学业倦怠的潜在调节作用。结果表明，认同干扰与更大的情绪衰竭、更多的玩世不恭和更低的学习效能有关。更冷的气候与更多的情绪疲惫和玩世不恭有关。此外，当寒冷的气候低或中等时，女性科学家的干预与玩世不恭之间存在正相关。当干扰较大时，寒冷的气候与玩世不恭没有关系。当女性经历了许多威胁(即，严寒的气候、高度的干扰)时，她们达到了一个门槛，在那里，额外的情感成本并不重要。这些结果突出了改善女科学家校园氛围的重要性，以及帮助女科学家发展身份的必要性。
Women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and these male-dominated fields are often described as "chilly" and unwelcoming to women. This study examined the potential moderating effect of chilly climate on woman-scientist identity interference and academic burnout among 363 female undergraduate STEM students. Results indicated that identity interference related to greater emotional exhaustion, greater cynicism, and lower academic efficacy. A chillier climate related to more emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Furthermore, a positive relation was found between woman-scientist interference and cynicism when chilly climate was low or moderate. When interference was high, chilly climate did not have a relation with cynicism. When women experienced many threats (i.e., high chilly climate, high interference), they reached a threshold where additional emotional cost did not matter. Results highlight the importance of improving the campus climate for female scientists, as well as the need to assist female scientists in identity development.
