现实活动中的高自我效能期望与追求工程、科学和技术领域的职业有关，而女性在这些领域的代表性一直不足。研究人员对54名女大学生进行了研究，以确定基于自我效能理论的干预是否会增加她们对“现实”（来自荷兰的理论）活动（如使用工具、组装、建造、操作机械）的信心和兴趣。在治疗前和治疗后测量兴趣和置信水平。参与者被预先筛选，以确定那些对现实活动至少有中等兴趣，但对现实的信心也很低的人。在治疗后，治疗组的24名参与者在现实信心方面比对照组的30名接受中立干预的参与者有统计学上的显著增加。讨论了增强女性现实自信的途径，以及自信与兴趣和职业追求的关系。(C) 2000年学术出版社。
High self-efficacy expectations in Realistic activities have been related to the pursuit of careers in engineering, science, and technology, where women have been historically underrepresented. Fifty-four college women were studied to determine if interventions based on self-efficacy theory would increase their confidence and interests in "Realistic" (from Holland's theory) activities (e.g., using tools, assembling, building, operating machinery). Interest and confidence levels were measured pre- and posttreatments. Participants were prescreened to identify those with at least moderate interest in Realistic activities, but who were also low in Realistic confidence. At posttreatment, the 24 participants in the treatment group showed a statistically significant increase in Realistic confidence relative to the control group of 30 that received a neutral intervention. Ways to increase women's Realistic confidence, and the relationships of confidence to interests and career pursuits, are discussed. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
