Zeldin, Amy L.; Pajares, Frank
American Educational Research Journal, v37 n1 p215-46 Spr 2000
Examined the personal narratives of 25 women excelling in mathematics, science, and technology careers to understand the importance of their self-efficacy beliefs. Findings suggest that the perceived importance of self-efficacy beliefs may be stronger for women in male-oriented domains than for those operating in traditional settings. (SLD)
