项目摘要

The increased demand for intellectual talent has highlighted the need for more female scientists, yet women are consistently underrepresented in the STEM domain. A pervading stereotype associating intellectual talent with men rather than women is a powerful cultural message that is in part responsible for this gender gap, termed the gender brilliance stereotype. This pernicious stereotype emerges early and immediately shapes children’s interests. To tackle this gender disparity from its developmental roots, this project will address three interrelated questions: (1) How do children internalize the gender brilliance stereotype? (2) How does the gender brilliance stereotype influence children’s, especially girls’, motivation? (3) What strategies can be developed to promote girls’ involvement in STEM? Findings from this research will transform understanding of the barriers posed on girls and lay a solid foundation for devising interventions to engage them in STEM. The project will also support graduate and undergraduate students in STEM education research and a course related to this research will be developed as part of the educational integration plan. Ultimately, this work will contribute to reducing gender inequalities. This research project is supported by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program, which supports work that advances fundamental research on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development.Integrating experimental and longitudinal approaches, the project will focus on 5- to 7-year-old children and provide a comprehensive investigation of the gender brilliance stereotype. Specifically, this research will investigate the contextual factors contributing to children’s endorsement of the stereotype, with a focus on parenting practices and will explore three psychological mechanisms through which the stereotype shapes girls’ motivation. The research design includes a series of experiments, and analyses include correlational approaches and identifying causal links between environmental sources and gender stereotypes. Young students and their parents will engage in brief tasks and respond to questionnaires that probe their underlying assumptions about the role of gender in STEM. In addition, the researcher will develop a role-model intervention to alleviate the negative consequences of the stereotype, namely, the early gender imbalance in participation in STEM activities. This project will advance the state of knowledge about the early-emerging psychological processes that underpin women’s underrepresentation in STEM and beyond. It will also bridge research and education by yielding information for parents, teachers, and museum educators on how to reduce the gender brilliance stereotype and its negative impacts.This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
对知识人才需求的增加凸显了对更多女性科学家的需求,但女性在STEM领域的代表性一直不足。一种普遍存在的将智力天赋与男性而非女性联系在一起的刻板印象是一种强大的文化信息,这种信息部分地造成了这种性别差距,称为性别才华刻板印象。这种有害的刻板印象很早就出现了,并立即塑造了儿童的兴趣。为了从发展根源上解决这种性别差异,该项目将解决三个相互关联的问题:(1)儿童如何内化性别才华刻板印象?(2)性别卓越刻板印象如何影响儿童,尤其是女孩的动机?(3)可以制定哪些战略来促进女孩参与STEM?这项研究的结果将改变对女孩所面临障碍的理解,并为制定干预措施以使她们参与STEM奠定坚实的基础。该项目还将支持研究生和本科生进行STEM教育研究,并将开发与此研究相关的课程,作为教育整合计划的一部分。最终,这项工作将有助于减少性别不平等。 本研究项目是以推进STEM学习和学习环境的基础研究、扩大STEM参与、STEM劳动力培养为目的的EHR核心研究(ECR)项目为依托,以5~7岁儿童为对象,综合实验和纵向研究方法,对性别优秀刻板印象进行全面调查。具体而言,本研究将调查的背景因素有助于儿童的认可的刻板印象,重点是父母的做法,并将探讨三个心理机制,通过刻板印象形状的女孩的动机。研究设计包括一系列的实验,分析包括相关的方法和确定环境来源和性别定型观念之间的因果关系。年轻的学生和他们的父母将参与简短的任务,并回答调查问卷,探讨他们对性别在STEM中的作用的基本假设。此外,研究者将开发一种角色模型干预,以减轻刻板印象的负面后果,即参与STEM活动的早期性别失衡。该项目将促进对早期出现的心理过程的了解,这些心理过程是妇女在STEM及其他领域代表性不足的基础。它还将通过为家长、教师、该奖项的全部或部分资金来自2021年美国救援计划法案。(第117 - 2页)该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估,被认为值得支持的搜索.
