Compensation Mechanisms01:28

Compensation Mechanisms

1.9K
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Dosage Compensation

In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with  distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

41.9K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.7K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

341
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Environmental Influences on Intelligence01:29

Environmental Influences on Intelligence

825
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Sociology of Education
  • STEM Education

Background:

  • Disparities persist in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) higher education attainment.
  • Selective science high school graduates from specific demographic groups face unique challenges in STEM pipeline persistence.
  • Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) provides a framework for understanding career development and choice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore individual and environmental factors influencing STEM degree completion among demographically disadvantaged science high school graduates.
  • To identify predictors of persistence for women, students without STEM-parental background, and those with parents lacking post-secondary education.
  • To inform educational policy aimed at supporting diverse talent in STEM fields.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to analyze factors affecting STEM degree completion.
  • Examined individual variables: pre-high school STEM intentions, motivation for specialized high school, and advanced course motivation.
  • Assessed environmental variables: research experience, mentorship, school belonging, sustained STEM interest, and perceived STEM capacity.

Main Results:

  • Specific individual motivations and high school environmental experiences significantly correlate with STEM degree completion.
  • Factors such as authentic research, mentorship, and a sense of belonging appear crucial for persistence.
  • Sustained interest and perceived capacity in STEM throughout high school are strong predictors of later success.

Conclusions:

  • Targeted interventions focusing on research opportunities, mentorship, and fostering belonging can enhance STEM degree completion rates.
  • Educational policies should consider the unique needs of diverse student populations in specialized STEM programs.
  • Supporting individual aspirations alongside positive environmental influences is key to broadening participation in STEM careers.
