A web-based survey of members the Society for Advancement Chicanos and Native Americans in Science tested a model that proposed effects science support experiences on commitment to careers would be mediated by self-efficacy identity as scientist. sample 327 undergraduates 338 graduate students postdoctoral fellows described their (research experience, mentoring, community involvement); psychological variables (science self-efficacy, leadership/teamwork scientist); pursue career scientific...

Prior research shows that undergraduates tend to identify more strongly with the field of science after participating in scientific research. However, mediators might account for this association are not well understood. In current study, we propose self-efficacy may serve mediational function. Specifically, data from a 2-year longitudinal study were used test model which was expected mediate between involvement and identity as scientist. The ethnically diverse sample included 251 who...

Few studies have examined objectification in the context of romantic relationships, even though strong theoretical arguments often made this connection. This study addresses gap literature by examining whether exposure to mass media is related self-objectification and one's partner, which turn hypothesized be relationship sexual satisfaction. A sample undergraduate students (91 women 68 men) enrolled a university on west coast United States completed self-report measures following variables:...

Mentored research apprenticeships are a common feature of academic outreach programs that aim to promote diversity in science fields. The current study tests for links between three forms mentoring (instrumental, socioemotional, and negative) the degree which undergraduates psychologically identify with science. Participants were 66 undergraduate-mentor dyads who worked together apprenticeship. undergraduate sample was predominantly composed women, first-generation college students, members...

Abstract Websites, blogs, and message boards of the “manosphere” are dedicated to a worldview that celebrates hegemonic masculinity decries feminism. In reflexive thematic analysis 227 posts (389,189 words) from two manosphere (The Red Pill Incel), we analyzed how posters viewed women men. We found beliefs about men formed an ideology comprised (a) evolution‐based views gender essentialism, (b) informal psychology women's motivations, (c) typology Women were seen as having three primary...

Abstract We present preliminary results from the Betrayal Trauma Inventory (BTI) testing predictions betrayal trauma theory (Freyd. 1994, 1996, in press) about relationship between amnesia and by a caregiver. The ??? assesses history using behaviorally defined events domains of sexual, physical, emotional childhood abuse, as well other lifetime traumatic events. When participants endorse an abuse experience, follow-up questions assess variety factors including memory impairment perpetrator...

One hundred and sixty‐two participants (ages 21–45) wrote open‐ended sexual fantasies completed self‐report measures of rape myth acceptance, adversarial beliefs, attitudes toward women. We coded using a newly developed scoring system that includes themes dominance, submission, pleasure, desire. Men fantasized about dominance more than women did; they also tended to focus on the desire pleasure their partner. Desire were closely linked in men women, for whom two distinct constructs. Although...

An unrestricted sociosexual orientation (the endorsement of casual sex) has been found to correlate with undesirable behaviors and personality characteristics more so in men than women. Using a community sample women, we investigated the correlations between sociosexuality behaviors, motives, attitudes, fantasies related sexual aggression. Participants (n = 168; ages 21–45) completed self‐report measures orientation, conservatism, rape myth acceptance, adversarial beliefs, attitudes toward...

This study describes the development and psychometric properties of Trauma Appraisal Questionnaire (TAQ). Items were generated based on interviews with 72 ethnically diverse community participants exposed to a range trauma types. From interviews, more than 600 items that tapped beliefs, emotions, behaviors for 9 appraisal categories (e.g., fear, betrayal, shame). Based expert feedback, 108 retained initial testing in sample 714 undergraduate volunteers. Using factor analytic strategy, we...

Emerging adulthood is a time of sexual and romantic relationship development as well change in the parent-child relationship.This study provides longitudinal analysis 30 young adults' (17 women, 13 men) experiences, attitudes about sexuality dating, reported conversations with parents dating from first fourth years college.Self-report questionnaires revealed increases general closeness parents, both more sexually permissive gender stereotyped attitudes.Qualitative analyses individual...

We report results from two studies testing the Mediation Model of Research Experiences (MMRE), which posits that science (or engineering) self-efficacy and identity as a scientist engineer) mediate association between support programs students' commitment to science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) careers. Study 1 included 502 matriculated recently graduated undergraduate STEM students. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated research experience, instrumental mentoring,...

Abstract : Four experiments with the psychological refractory period (PRP) procedure are reported that investigate how people perform multiple tasks concurrently. In each experiment, a primary task was paired secondary had two levels of response-selection difficulty. Experiments 1 and 2 varied difficulty by manipulating number alternative stimulus-response (S-R) pairs in task. both experiments, effect this factor on secondary-task reaction times (RTs) decreased reliably as stimulus onset...

The present study investigated whether implicit social motives and cognitive power-sex associations would predict self-reports of aggressive sexual behavior. Participants wrote stories in response to Thematic Apperception Test pictures, which were scored for power affiliation-intimacy motives. They also completed a lexical-decision priming task that provided an index the strength association between concepts "power" "sexuality." For men, high levels motivation strong predicted more frequent...

Controlling social desirability abuse, was strongest predictor adolescent women men. Emotional a marginally reliable in women. These results show importance as factor intimate relationships.

This short-term longitudinal study examined (a) adolescents' contact with mentors who share their background in relation to the importance they place on having such mentors, and (b) associations of these perceptions self-efficacy, identity, commitment a science career. Participants were 265 ethnically diverse adolescents (M age = 15.82) attending 4-week education program. Cluster analyses indicated that at Time 1, underrepresented ethnic minorities more often cluster defined by feelings...
