Same-Sex and Opposite-Sex Teacher Model Influences on Science Career Commitment Among High School Students
Stake, Jayne E.; Granger, Charles R.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 2, 180-6, Apr 78
The relationship between the science career commitment and high school science teacher models was examined for 141 female and 129 male high school students. Teacher attractiveness and science-related teacher contact affected the influence of same-sex teachers more than that of opposite-sex teachers. The implications for female participation in science are considered. (Author/JAC)
