The discrimination young researchers endure makes Americas need for STEM workers even greater. UNITS WITH SEVERAL PROGRAMS. Business is home to five programs, but is listed as one unit to the left. The Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences is. D, is associate professor in the department of psychology at Michigan State University MSU in the social personality interest group. She is a core faculty affiliate of MSUs Center for Multicultural Psychology Research and MSUs Center for Gender in Global Context. Settles received her Ph. D in personality psychology from the University of Michigan in 2. In her research, Settles examines how individuals negotiate multiple identities, with a particular focus on women in STEM, and how members of devalued social groups e. Settles was the 2. Carolyn Payton Early Career Award and has had research grants from MSUs Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives and the National Institute of Mental Health. In addition, her research group, the Multiple Identity Intersections lab, received MSUs 2. Excellence in Diversity Award. Author website.

My research on this topic examines womens attrition in STEM specifically within the natural sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics by focusing on two broad aspects of their experiences Challenges women face. Protective factors that can ameliorate the negative impact of such experiences. Below, I review my work in these areas, focusing primarily on the experiences of women as undergraduate and graduate students and as faculty members in university settings. The STEM Environment. Numerical underrepresentation and negative stereotypes contribute to negative environments for women in STEM. Negative gender based experiences, such as sexual harassment, are more likely to occur in male dominated settings like the sciences e. Antecol Cobb Clark, 2. Willness, Steel, Lee, 2. Dovidio, Major, Crocker, 2. Further, Kanters 1. Specifically, women may experience greater performance pressure because they are highly visible as tokens and are expected to represent women as a group. Women may also experience social isolation because they are seen as outsiders by men in the organization. Finally, perceptions of individual women are filtered through stereotypes about their gender. For example, compared to men, women are stereotyped as less intelligent and less competent in mathematics and science Lane, Goh, Driver Linn, 2. Shih, Pittinsky, Ambady, 1. Moreover, the cultural stereotype of the scientist as objective, rational, and single minded is consistent with prescribed norms for men, but counter to stereotypes and prescribed norms for women Barbercheck, 2. Diekman Steinberg, 2. Fiske, Cuddy, Glick Xu, 2. Together, these factors contribute to a chilly climate for women in STEM, with multiple challenges that contribute to their low numbers at every level. Structural and Interpersonal Challenges I have investigated some of the structural barriers and negative interpersonal experiences faced by women in STEM by comparing female and male STEM and non STEM faculty members at a U. S. university. Compared to female faculty members in social science non STEM, female faculty members in the natural sciences STEM reported more perceived gender discrimination related to hiring, promotion, salary, space, equipment, access to administrative staff, and graduate student or residentfellow assignments, as well as more sexual harassment Settles, Cortina, Malley, Stewart, 2. Among faculty in STEM, women also reported more gender discrimination than men in fact, 9. Settles, Cortina, Buchanan, Miner, 2. Further, female STEM faculty members, compared to their male counterparts in STEM, reported more gender derogation negative, insensitive or disparaging comments made about ones own gender, and viewed their workplace as more tolerant of sexism Settles et al., 2. Building from Kantors 1. I found that female faculty members in STEM reported more scholarly isolation feeling excluded from scholarly interactions with other faculty members, compared to their male STEM colleagues Settles et al., 2. My research on the military Buchanan, Settles, Woods, 2. Settles, Harrell, Buchanan, Yap, 2. Settles OConnor, 2. In sum, this research indicates that female faculty members in STEM experience more negative structural and interpersonal experiences than both female social science faculty and male STEM faculty members. These findings support the notion that such behaviors are a way to penalize women for working in male dominated fields, and to communicate that they are not welcome in such environments. Outcomes and Mediating Factors Associated with Structural and Interpersonal Challenges. My research found that women in STEM reported negative outcomes as a result of their workplace and academic mistreatment, including lower job satisfaction and productivity for female STEM faculty members Settles, Cortina, Stewart, Malley, 2. Settles et al., 2. Settles et al., 2. For female STEM undergraduate students, feeling that ones STEM major has a negative climate i. Thus, there are important consequences for womens experiences of mistreatment in STEM, especially as satisfaction has been shown to predict organizational retention Glomb et al., 1. One mechanism that may explain the relationship between structural and interpersonal mistreatment and negative outcomes is poor perceptions of the organizational climate. In particular, my colleagues and I found that feelings of isolation and perceptions of a negative workplace climate mediated the relationship between gender discrimination and job satisfaction for female STEM faculty members Settles et al., 2. Similarly, gender derogation was associated with feelings that the organization tolerates sexism organizational tolerance of sexism was, in turn, related to scholarly isolation and negative climate perceptions, which were associated with lower job satisfaction. A similar relationship was found for women in a different male dominated academic setting specifically, womens experiences of uncivil treatment a male dominated at scholarly conferences was related to lower satisfaction with the conference through more negative perceptions of the conference climate Settles OConnor, 2. That is to say that the adverse impact of mistreatment is appears to be partly due to the fact that it negatively impacts womens perceptions of their workplace environment. Women in STEM also engage in strategic impression management designed to control others negative impressions related to their gender. Among women involved in a STEM related field as students or employees, we found that gender discrimination was related to the use of two impression management strategies Roberts, Settles, Jellison, 2.
