A longitudinal test of social cognitive career theory's academic persistence model among Latino/a and White men and women engineering students

The aim of this study was to evaluate senior athletic administrators’ expectations and intentions of becoming National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I athletic directors (ADs) and explore women and racial minority senior athletic administrators’ athletic workplace experience. To serve the purpose, two studies using social cognitive career theory (SCCT) were employed. First, demographic (i.e., gender and race) differences by SCCT variables were assessed through survey collection and multivariate analysis of variance. Second, content analysis of interviews was used to assess the experiences of athletic administrators. Results revealed women and racial minority senior athletic administrators’ had similar self-efficacy compared to White men, but they encountered more barriers, unfavorable outcome expectations, and lower choice goals associated with becoming an NCAA Division I AD. Further, findings show women and racial minority senior athletic administrators felt occupational segregation limited their access and opportunities for career advancement to a Division I AD position.

Social Cognitive Career

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The current study tested a model of career persistence intentions in engineering based on Lent, Brown, and Hackett's (1994, 2000) social cognitive career theory incorporating the Realistic and Investigative themes of Holland theory (1997) among a sample of 457 college students majoring in engineering attending a Hispanic serving institution (HSI). The findings indicated that (a) proposed model with combined paths (direct and indirect effect model), which include both direct and indirect paths from contextual factors to engineering persistence intentions, fit the data for the full sample; (2) for both Realistic and Investigative models, significant paths were between Realistic/Investigative self-efficacy and Realistic/Investigative interests, engineering support and engineering persistence intentions, and engineering barriers and engineering persistence intention; (3) social cognitive career theory predictors accounted for a significant amount of variance in engineering persistence intentions (26.6% and 28.5%) for Realistic and Investigative models; (4) the model varied across women and men and across Latina/o and white engineering undergraduate students for both Realistic and Investigative models. Implications for research and practice are discussed in relation to persistence in engineering among women and Latina/o students.

Two separate studies investigated race and sex differences in normal auditory sensitivity. Study I measured thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 cps of 23 white men, 26 white women, 21 negro men, and 24 negro women using the method of limits. In Study II thresholds of 10 white men, 10 white women, 10 negro men, and 10 negro women were measured at 1000 cps using four different stimulus conditions and the method of adjustment by means of Bekesy audiometry. Results indicated that the white men and women in Study I heard significantly better than their negro counterparts at 1000 and 2000 cps. There were no significant differences between the average thresholds measured at 1000 cps of the white and negro men in Study II. White women produced better auditory thresholds with three stimulus conditions and significantly more sensitive thresholds with the slow pulsed stimulus than did the negro women in Study II.
