- Science Identity and Growth Mindset as Mechanisms to Support STEM Students’ Career Self-Efficacy (2026) · doi
Given that graduate and advanced training is often needed to attain a variety of STEM careers, future research should examine if the mechanisms we examined will hold up for emerging scientists at later stages of training and education. For example, growth mindset and science identity may have bidirectional relationships with career-self efficacy and this should be examined in future studies. Other measurement methods should be explored in future research. ” Although our data provided preliminary support of the factor structure and construct validity of the adapted measure, replications and further validations in future research are needed.

Abstract Despite the widely accepted view that low self‐efficacy beliefs negatively influence students' intention to opt for a STEM field oriented study or career path, it remains unclear how to effectively stimulate these beliefs in students who do seem to have the ability and motivation to opt for a STEM career.

While studies of “STEM identity” often build off previously validated disciplinary and/or science identity frameworks, quantitative analyses of constructs that specifically measure STEM identity and its antecedents are scarce, making it challenging for researchers or practitioners to apply a measurement‐based perspective of participation in opportunities billed as “STEM.
