A qualitative investigation of the influences of gender among low-socioeconomic status students’ motivations to study biology by Svetlana Masjutina, Elizabeth Stearns

“…Results Using interview data from LSES students who were participants in an externally funded scholarship program, we found that personal interests, positive learning experiences, and particularly medical career opportunities were highly influential for shaping major-related choices for LSES students, comparable to the motivations seen among biology students from all demographic groups. Yet the ways LSES men and women translated their preferences and motivations into biology majors were divergent, which highlights the unique perspectives and challenges of LSES students along their motivational trajectories. …”
