Religious diversity in science: Stereotypical and counter-stereotypical social identities

نویسندگان

چکیده

Research shows that scientists tend to be less religious than the general population, and scientists’ affiliation participation have declined over time (Ecklund & Park, 2009; Ecklund et al., 2008). Given demographic differences between it was predicted who are would regarded as having a counter-stereotypical combination of social identities. However, across five studies, we found people’s own identities played moderating role in perception scientist. Although atheist participants perceived being more scientists, same not consistently for nonreligious (but atheist) or participants. These findings important implications debates around underrepresentation individuals science. As do perceive these two incompatible, may stereotypes others about culture science generally, rather self-stereotypes, hurdles choosing scientific career. Future research should take into account explore other potential barriers lead within STEM fields.

Stereotypical fingertip trajectories during grasp.

The kinematics of movement of all five digits was analyzed during reach-and-grasp tasks for a variety of objects. Ten healthy subjects performed 20 trials involving the grasp of five objects of distinct size and shape. Joint angles were recorded, and digit trajectories were computed using forward kinematics. For a given subject, fingertip trajectories were consistent across trials. The differen...
