研究发现，相信计算机可以造福社会的大学生往往有更高的归属感。对于支持帮助社会目标的学生来说更是如此；认同为第一代大学生的学生、女性、黑人/非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔/拉丁裔*和/或亚洲人更有可能支持这一目标。来自这些群体的人也更有可能支持想要合作的目标。为了更好地了解学生如何决定计算是否可以造福社会，以及它是否涉及协作，我们对29名大学生进行了采访。与之前的研究相反，我们的参与者普遍表达了计算可以帮助社会的信念，并引用了计算的无处不在的影响作为证据。然而，学生们也对利润是许多大型科技公司的主要动机持谨慎态度。我们的参与者也普遍认为，计算涉及协作，这可能是我们的大多数参与者参加了一个强调协作的机构的结果。我们建议教育工作者提供积极的社会影响的例子，超越计算对现代便利的贡献，作为扩大学生对该领域可能的工作的感知的一种方式。为了实现这一目标，我们提供了12个例子。影响学生对计算具有积极的社会影响和协作的看法可能是扩大参与和促进归属感的有效举措。也就是说，改变学生对计算的看法的干预措施可能会补充额外的努力，以解决限制参与计算的结构性不平等和歧视问题。
Research has found that college students who believe that computing can benefit society tend to report a higher sense of belonging. This is additionally true for students who endorse the goal of helping society; students who identify as first-generation college students, women, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx/Latin*, and/or Asian are more likely to endorse this goal. People from these groups are also more likely to endorse the goal of wanting to collaborate. To better understand how students decide if computing can be used to benefit society and whether it involves collaboration, we conducted interviews with 29 college students. Contrary to previous research, our partici-pants universally expressed the belief that computing can help society and cited the ubiquitous impact of computing as evidence. However, students were also wary that profit is the primary motivator of many large technology companies. Our participants generally also believed that computing involves collaboration, which may be the result of most of our participants attending an institution that emphasizes collaboration. We propose that educators provide examples of positive social impact beyond computing's contribution to modern conveniences as a way to expand students' perceptions of the work possible in the field. Towards that goal, we provide 12 examples. Influencing students' perception of computing as having positive social impact and collaboration may be an effective initiative to broaden participation and promote belonging. That is, interventions to shift students' perception of computing may complement additional efforts to address structural inequality and discrimination that limit participation in computing.
