Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v38 n5 p599-621 May 2001
Points out that African Americans are underrepresented among Ph.D.-holding scientists. Examines the career decisions of three African American college students and indicates that student interest in a science-related career is directly related to the degree to which they perceive that career as being supportive of deep-seated life goals.
