Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

546
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

93.4K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.1K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

359
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

34.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Disabled individuals are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) due to ableism. Addressing ableism can improve recruitment and retention of disabled scientists, benefiting STEM fields.

Area of Science:

  • Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields
  • Academic Science
  • Scientific Workforce Diversity

Background:

  • People with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM fields compared to the general undergraduate population.
  • Disability representation decreases at higher academic levels (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral) within STEM.
  • Underrepresentation suggests challenges in recruiting and retaining disabled students in STEM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how ableism contributes to the exclusion of disabled scientists in research.
  • To suggest strategies for improving accessibility and inclusion of disabled scientists in academic science.
  • To highlight the unique perspectives disabled scientists bring to STEM fields.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on disability representation in STEM.
  • Analysis of ableism as a barrier in scientific research.
  • Exploration of potential solutions for enhancing accessibility and inclusion.

Main Results:

  • Ableism, defined as prejudice against disabled people, actively contributes to the exclusion of disabled scientists.
  • Current STEM recruitment and retention strategies are insufficient for disabled individuals.
  • Disabled scientists offer valuable, unique problem-solving perspectives.

Conclusions:

  • The scientific community must actively combat ableism to foster inclusivity.
  • Implementing accessibility measures is crucial for retaining disabled talent in STEM.
  • Promoting inclusion of disabled scientists enriches STEM fields with diverse viewpoints and innovation.
