Resumen
Una nueva iniciativa de tutoría apoya a los estudiantes de minorías que se aplican a la escuela de posgrado. Este programa mejora el acceso a los recursos, ayudando a la matriculación exitosa y destacando áreas para una mayor equidad en las admisiones.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Educación STEM
- Equidad de admisión de graduados
Sus antecedentes:
- Las admisiones a la escuela de posgrado presentan desafíos únicos para los estudiantes minoritarios debido a sesgos implícitos y un "plan de estudios oculto".
- El Científico Latino Graduate Student Mentorship Initiative (CL-GSMI) fue fundado en 2019 por aprendices de STEM para abordar estas disparidades.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la efectividad del programa CL-GSMI en el apoyo a los estudiantes de minorías a través del proceso de solicitud de la escuela de posgrado.
- Identificar áreas específicas dentro de las admisiones de graduados que requieren mejoras para fomentar una mayor equidad e inclusión.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de los datos de evaluación del programa recogidos entre 2020 y 2021.
- Evaluación de los recursos proporcionados, incluida la información, la tutoría y el apoyo financiero.
Principales resultados:
- CL-GSMI ha ayudado con éxito a 443 estudiantes a solicitar y matricularse en programas de posgrado.
- Los datos del programa indican impactos positivos en el acceso y el éxito de los estudiantes.
Conclusiones:
- Las iniciativas de tutoría son cruciales para desmantelar las barreras en la admisión de graduados para grupos subrepresentados.
- Se proporcionan recomendaciones para mejorar los procesos de admisión de graduados para que sean más equitativos e inclusivos.

01:29Reliability and Validity
12.8K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

01:25Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding
119
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

01:16Stratified Sampling Method
12.1K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.

02:09Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
37.7K
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...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

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...
