研究审查各种因素（例如，由于对STEM专业人员的需求迅速增加，STEM学生招聘和保留的基础（STEM刻板印象）至关重要。这项实验研究测试了挑战常见STEM刻板印象的榜样传记的影响（即，STEM适合有天赋的个人和欧裔美国男性），面向1035名STEM和非STEM本科生。研究结果表明，榜样曝光对STEM和非STEM学生对STEM的兴趣以及他们对自我和STEM之间的身份兼容性的感知都有积极影响。榜样暴露对STEM和非STEM学生的学术归属感有积极影响，对STEM学生的学术自我效能感有积极影响，但对非STEM学生没有影响。
Studies examining factors (e.g., STEM stereotypes) that underlie the recruitment and retention of STEM students are critical as the demand for STEM professionals is rapidly increasing. This experimental study tested the effects of role model biographies that challenge common STEM stereotypes (i.e., STEM is for gifted individuals and for European American males) on 1035 STEM and non-STEM undergraduate students. Findings showed that role model exposure had positive effects on both STEM and non-STEM students' interest in STEM as well as their perceived identity compatibility between the self and STEM. Role model exposure had a positive impact on academic sense of belonging among STEM and non-STEM students, and a positive impact on academic self-efficacy among STEM students, but not non-STEM students.
