O'Brien, Virginia; Martinez-Pons, Manual; Kopala, Mary
Journal of Educational Research, v92 n4 p231-35 Mar-Apr 1999
Surveyed 11th graders to examine the relations among mathematics self-efficacy (SE), gender, ethnic identity, and career interests (CI) in mathematics and science. Researchers also examined socioeconomic status (SES) and academic achievement. Science CI was predicted solely by science-mathematics SE. SE was predicted by academic performance and ethnic identity. Academic performance was predicted by SES. Gender directly affected CI. (SM)
