Building on the insights of gender theorists as well as a small body of emerging quantitative research, the authors examine whether and how students' self-perceptions of competitiveness are related to gendered patterns of future STEM expectations among a sample of U.S. high school students. Results of regression analyses reveal that female students' relatively lower self-perceptions of competitiveness (compared to male students) significantly contribute to their lower expectation of majoring in two historically male-dominated fields, physical science and engineering. Additional results revealed an interaction between gender and competitiveness for expectations to major in computer science, such that while girls' expectations significantly increase with their perceptions of competitiveness, boys' decisions to pursue computer science are unrelated to such perceptions.
基于性别理论家的见解以及一小部分新兴的定量研究，作者们考察了美国高中生样本中，学生对竞争力的自我认知是否以及如何与未来STEM期望的性别模式相关。回归分析结果显示，女生对竞争力的自我认知相对较低（与男生相比），这显著导致了她们对在物理科学和工程这两个传统上由男性主导的领域主修专业的期望较低。其他结果显示，在计算机科学专业期望方面，性别与竞争力之间存在交互作用，即虽然女生的期望随着她们对竞争力的认知显著增加，但男生是否选择计算机科学专业与这种认知无关。
