简介美国在STEM（科学，技术，工程，数学）学位和职业方面与种族/民族差异作斗争。根据情境期望价值理论，父母通过STEM学位和职业获得的经验和知识塑造了他们提供的STEM支持，并与青少年的STEM动机信念相关。（N= 14，000; 50%为女性;法师= 14岁，9年级），这是一个最近的美国数据集，调查了全国代表性的青少年样本。结果和结论结果表明，父母的STEM支持，在9年级父母没有STEM学位/职业的家庭在11年级的青少年STEM动机信念低于父母至少有一人拥有STEM学位/职业的家庭。我们的组内分析表明，在父母没有STEM学位/职业的家庭中，除了黑人青少年外，父母的STEM支持通常与青少年的STEM动机信念呈正相关。然而，这些关系在父母拥有STEM学位/职业的青少年中并不显着。此外，虽然亚洲和白色青少年的父母更有可能持有STEM学位/职业比拉丁/O和黑人青少年的父母，家长STEM支持和青少年的STEM动机信念之间的关联出现在亚洲，拉丁/O，和白色青少年。
IntroductionThe United States struggles with racial/ethnic disparities in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) degrees and occupations. According to situated expectancy‐value theory, the experience and knowledge parents gain through STEM degrees and occupations shape the STEM support they provide and relatedly their adolescents' STEM motivational beliefs.MethodsWe analyzed data from the High School Longitudinal Study (N= 14,000; 50% female;Mage= 14 years old at 9th grade), which is a recent U.S. data set that surveyed a nationally representative sample of adolescents.Results and ConclusionsResults showed that parent STEM support in 9th grade and adolescent STEM motivational beliefs in 11th grade were lower in families where parents did not have a STEM degree/occupation than in families where at least one parent had a STEM degree/occupation. Our within‐group analyses suggested that parents' STEM support was generally positively related to adolescents' STEM motivational beliefs among families where parents did not have a STEM degree/occupation for all racial/ethnic groups except Black adolescents. However, these relations were not significant among adolescents who had a parent STEM degree/occupation. Furthermore, although Asian and White adolescents' parents were more likely to hold a STEM degree/occupation than Latina/o and Black adolescents' parents, the associations between parent STEM support and adolescents' STEM motivational beliefs emerged for Asian, Latina/o, and White adolescents.
