Gender-based stereotype threat can be particularly malignant in STEM fields and can cause women to disidentify with an entire profession.
“Gender-based stereotype threat can be particularly malignant in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (Good, Aronson, & Harder, 2008;Shapiro & Williams, 2012); it can cause women to disidentify with an entire profession and leave few women in the pipeline to assume leadership roles.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
