以前的研究表明，访问和接触计算，社会支持，预备特权，在计算和/或计算身份的归属感都有助于妇女追求计算作为一个研究领域或打算的职业生涯。我们不太了解的是，是什么让年轻女性在遇到障碍的情况下坚持使用计算机。本文介绍了64个深入采访的分析结果与年轻女性谁在高中表示有兴趣在计算中寻找到NCWIT的计算奖的愿望。该数据集包括获奖者和非获奖者，其中一些人坚持计算，一些人没有。我们的研究结果表明，多重的，冗余的支持，社区支持和支持身份/归属感的因素在他们的中心，可能会使谁坚持和谁不坚持的差异。
Previous research has suggested that access and exposure to computing, social supports, preparatory privilege, a sense of belonging in computing and/or a computing identity all contribute to women pursuing computing as a field of study or intended career. What we know less about is what keeps young women persisting in computing despite the obstacles they encounter. This paper describes findings from analysis of 64 in-depth interviews with young women who in high school expressed interest in computing by looking into NCWIT's Aspirations in Computing Award. The dataset includes Award winners and non-winners, some of whom have persisted in computing and some who have not. Our findings suggest that multiple, redundant supports, with community support and factors bolstering identity/belonging at their center, may make the difference in who persists and who does not.
