Abstract

Despite progress made toward increasing women's interest and involvement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), women continue to be underrepresented and experience less equity and inclusion in some STEM fields. In this article, I review the psychological literature relevant to understanding and mitigating women's lower fit and inclusion in STEM. Person-level explanations concerning women's abilities, interests, and self-efficacy are insufficient for explaining these persistent gaps. Rather, women's relatively lower interest in male-dominated STEM careers such as computer science and engineering is likely to be constrained by gender stereotypes. These gender stereotypes erode women's ability to experience self-concept fit, goal fit, and/or social fit. Such effects occur independently of intentional interpersonal biases and discrimination, and yet they create systemic barriers to women's attraction to, integration in, and advancement in STEM. Dismantling these systemic barriers requires a multifaceted approach to changing organizational and educational cultures at the institutional, interpersonal, and individual level.

摘要

尽管在提高女性对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的兴趣及参与度方面已取得进展,但在某些STEM领域,女性的代表性仍然不足,且较少享有公平和包容。在本文中,我回顾了与理解和缓解女性在STEM领域较低的契合度及包容性相关的心理学文献。关于女性能力、兴趣和自我效能的个人层面解释不足以说明这些持续存在的差距。相反,女性对计算机科学和工程等男性主导的STEM职业相对较低的兴趣可能受到性别刻板印象的限制。这些性别刻板印象削弱了女性体验自我概念契合、目标契合和/或社会契合的能力。这种影响独立于有意的人际偏见和歧视而发生,但它们却为女性进入、融入和在STEM领域取得进展制造了系统性障碍。消除这些系统性障碍需要采取多方面的方法,在机构、人际和个人层面改变组织和教育文化。
