HILARY BERGSIEKER\ n\nTHE SOCIAL “THREATWORK”: CONNECTING WOMEN'S EXCLUSION FROM STEM\nSO CIAL NETWORKS TO IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT GENDER STEREOTYPES\n\nABSTRACT:\n\n When\, why\, and with what effect are women sometimes excluded from\ninfor mal social networks in STEM fields? Drawing on social identity\nthreat and structural hole theories\, a series of studies assess social\nnetwork dyn amics that may limit women's full inclusion in STEM\ncircles. \nIn experi ments with 1\,065 ݮƵ undergraduates enrolled in\nmale-dominated STEM majors (including math)\, women (but not men)\nanticipated repetitional p enalties if they associated with a woman who\nexpressed stereotypically fe minine interests. Women whose social\nnetwork positions gave them less bro kerage (i.e.\, reduced ability to\nmanage information flows between unconn ected friends) were less\nwilling to befriend and socially integrate other women with feminine-\n(vs. STEM-) stereotypic interests. Next\, in field research with 1\,247\nfull-time employees working at North American STEM o rganizations\, men\nwho held stronger STEM=male implicit associations repo rted less often\nchoosing to socialize with their female teammates. In tur n\, for women\nat these same organizations\, receiving fewer social ties f rom male\nteammates was associated with worse workplace outcomes: lower\ne ngagement\, self-efficacy\, and feelings of fit\, plus greater concerns\na bout being judged on the basis of gender at work. Finally\, a series\nof m athematical simulations model the estimated impact of men\nintervening to counteract gender bias and support women's full\ninclusion in STEM workpla ces. Implications for advancing gender\ninclusion in STEM fields are discu ssed.\n\nVisit the Psych EDI working group webpage \n[https://uwaterloo. ca/psychology-equity-diversity-inclusion/about-psychology-edi/important-de finitions]before\nthe talk to learn some useful definitions. \n DTSTAMP:20250519T080332Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
