Considering the Impact of Racial Stigmas and Science Identity: Persistence among Biomedical and Behavioral Science Aspirants
Open accessAbstract
This longitudinal study examined whether the combination of having negative racial interactions and identifying with one's domain of study affects underrepresented racial minority freshmen. In line with stereotype threat theory, students reporting higher levels of this combination of experiences and attributes were significantly less likely to persist in their intended biomedical or behavioral science major.

Having a strong science identity plays an important role in student involvement, persistence, and career selection.
“Having a strong science identity plays an important role in student involvement, persistence, and career selection (Carlone & Johnson, 2007; Chang et al., 2011; Williams & George-Jackson, 2014).”
From "It Just Makes It Feel Like You're Not Alone": A Qualitative Study of a Social Support Group for High-Achieving, Low-Income STEM Majors (2024) · cites this paper as Chang et al., 2011
The Results and Discussion (page unavailable) report that stronger identification with biomedical and behavioral science goals was associated with greater first-year persistence in an intended major, particularly among students with fewer negative racial experiences. The paper does not establish that science identity affects student involvement or career selection; its findings concern persistence among underrepresented minority students who had already intended to pursue these majors. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe work of Hurtado suggests that an early, structured research experience may catalyze the initial domain identity development needed for persistence in a STEM major.
“The work of Hurtado suggests that an early, structured research experience may catalyze the initial domain identity development needed for persistence in a STEM major [38], [46].”
From Underrepresented Minority High School and College Students Report STEM-Pipeline Sustaining Gains After Participating in the Loma Linda University Summer Health Disparities Research Program (2014) · cites this paper as [46]
The “Biomedical and Behavioral Science Persistence and Identity” section (page unavailable) suggests that well-structured undergraduate research can help URM students develop a science identity and, in turn, improve their chances of persisting in a biomedical or behavioral science (BBS) field. The Discussion (page unavailable) links domain identification to BBS-major persistence. The paper does not specifically establish that an early research experience catalyzes initial identity development, and its discussion concerns URM students in BBS fields rather than STEM majors generally.

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.
