Abstract Details

2020, Specialist in Education, Miami University, School Psychology.
The underrepresentation of females in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) majors is contributing to the STEM workforce shortage. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree to which non-cognitive factors of grit, fear of failure, and perceived difficulty predict engagement and achievement in U.S. college STEM majors. This research will also examine whether the predictive relationships differ based on gender in order to identify potential factors that influence the severe underrepresentation of females in STEM fields.
