Latent profile analysis of adolescents’ gender stereotypes and self-perceptions in math
Causes and consequences of stereotypes
Motivating girls to enroll in computer science (CS) courses is critically important. Stereotypes that girls are less interested than boys in CS may deter girls. Three preregistered experimental studies (N = 1,053) examined causal links between gender-interest stereotypes and middle school students’ CS motivation. Experiment 1 showed that stereotypes reduced girls’ motivation to enroll, mediated by a lower sense of belonging. Experiment 2 showed t…
Longitudinal stability and change across a year in children’s gender stereotypes about four different STEM fields
Gender stereotypes about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are salient for children and adolescents and contribute to achievement-related disparities and inequalities in STEM participation. However, few studies have used a longitudinal design to examine changes in gender stereotypes across a range of STEM fields. In a large, preregistered study, we examined the developmental trajectories of two gender stereotypes (involving intere…
Achievement emotions predict transfer student academic success
Transfer students comprise half of all undergraduate students, yet their educational experiences may differ in meaningful ways from those of traditional students. Importantly, the transfer student population is diverse and not monolithic. Achievement emotions, which occur in an iterative pattern with past experiences informing current and future emotions, are particularly understudied within the transfer population. This survey study ( N = 721) e…
An Empirical Study of the Dimensionality of the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Construct
This study explores the dimensionality of mathematical knowledge needed by elementary school teachers. Specifically, we focus on the construct of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching to investigate whether common mathematical content knowledge (the generic mathematical knowledge that is held by an educated adult), specialized content knowledge (the content knowledge that is unique to teaching), and pedagogical content knowledge (knowledge of the c…
College Stress, Minority Status Stress, Depression, Grades, and Persistence Intentions Among Hispanic Female Students
The present study examined the mediating role of depression symptoms in the relation of college stress and minority status stress to cumulative grade point average (GPA) and persistence intentions among Hispanic women ( n = 426) enrolled in a 4-year major research public institution. Results of path analyses indicated a strong model-data fit for the proposed model. When controlling for each other, both typical college stress and minority status s…
The Association Between Parenting Stress, Parenting Self-Efficacy, and the Clinical Significance of Child ADHD Symptom Change Following Behavior Therapy
School motivation and high school dropout
BackgroundA good deal of evidence indicates that students' motivational beliefs and attitudes play a critical role in their academic success. Research studies on how motivational factors may help determine whether students remain in high school or drop out, however, are relatively few. More specifically, there is a lack of research examining the dynamics of whether students' motivational beliefs from earlier in high school might be used to predic…
The effects of parental involvement on students’ academic self‐efficacy, engagement and intrinsic motivation
This research examined whether various dimensions of parental involvement predicted 10th‐grade students’ motivation (engagement, self‐efficacy towards maths and English, intrinsic motivation towards maths and English) using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS 2002). Results showed that both parents’ educational aspiration for their children and school‐initiated contact with parents on benign school issues had strong positive…
A Note on Confidence Intervals for Two-Group Latent Mean Effect Size Measures
This note suggests delta method implementations for deriving confidence intervals for a latent mean effect size measure for the case of 2 independent populations. A hypothetical kindergarten reading example using these implementations is provided, as is supporting LISREL syntax
Impact of Post Hoc Measurement Model Overspecification on Structural Parameter Integrity
In the common two-step structural equation modeling process, modifications are routinely made to the measurement portion of the model prior to assessing structural relations. The effect of such measurement model modifications on the structural parameter estimates, however, is not well known and is the subject of the current investigation. For a five-factor confirmatory factor model, Monte Carlo simulation was used to compare interfactor correlati…
