Students' perceptions of their mathematics ability vary by gender and seem to influence science, technology, engineering, (STEM) degree choice. Related, students' during academic difficulty are increasingly studied in educational psychology, suggesting a link between such task persistence. Despite interest examining the disparities STEM, these concepts have not been considered tandem. In this manuscript, we investigate how perceived under challenge-in particular domains-influences entry into...

Is there a relationship between mathematics ability beliefs and STEM degrees? Fields such as physics, engineering, mathematics, computer science (PEMC) are thought to require talent or brilliance. However, the potential effects of difficulty perceptions on students’ participation in have yet be examined using gender race/ethnicity intersectional lens. Using nationally representative U.S. longitudinal data, we measure racial/ethnic variation secondary orientation towards difficulty. We...

Despite multiple policy changes over the last three decades, women are still underrepresented in many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields at undergraduate level. This issue is a major concern for federal state governments as well higher education institutions. Colleges universities have created number of recruitment retention policies to address women's underrepresentation STEM fields. One longest running responses has been living-learning communities (LLCs) -...
