“…Our investigation of social identity processes among a unique population of female and male STEM professionals contributes to recent research and theorizing on social identity threats in naturalistic work settings (Hall et al, 2015, 2018a,b). Also, it appeals to the growing call for research that seeks to understand social identity processes among women in STEM after they complete their education and enter the workplace (Walton et al, 2015).…”

“…While this focus is highly valuable to explain why women opt out of STEM, a more solution-driven approach would be to focus on positive context parameters that challenge women – and men – working in STEM and form a springboard to their careers. As a first step, recent research demonstrated that the presence of gender inclusive policies reduced feelings of gender identity threat among women in engineering (Hall et al, 2018b). Importantly, they demonstrated that these gender inclusive policies reduced feelings of gender identity threat even when the numerical representation of women in the work context was low.…”

“…In the STEM sector, recent diary studies showed that women (but not men) engineers’ conversations with their male (but not female) colleagues cued feelings of incompetence and lack of acceptance. Moreover, on days that these conversations took place, levels of self-reported gender identity threat were higher (Hall et al, 2015, 2018a,b). Building on this work, in the current study we move from a micro level focus on daily interactions or cues that trigger gender identity threats at work, to a macro level focus on institutional parameters of male dominance that may cause gender identity threats among women STEM graduates working in- or outside the STEM sector.…”

Masculine work contexts form an important source of social identity threat for working women. But what aspect of masculine work contexts is most threatening to women’s gender identity at work: A numerical majority of male colleagues (i.e., numerical male dominance), working in a profession in which women are negatively stereotyped (i.e., normative male dominance), or the combination? The current study aimed to disentangle these two aspects of masculine work contexts by testing its combined impact on the experience of gender identity threat among women and men who work in the STEM sector (i.e., Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). A field study was conducted among women ( N = 177) and men ( N = 630) graduates holding an academic degree in a STEM educational program. Respondents either worked in- or outside the STEM sector (i.e., stronger vs. weaker gender stereotype) and estimated the ratio of men to women in their direct work environment. Results from a Structural Equation Model demonstrated that women in STEM face double trouble: The combination of working almost solely with male colleagues (being outnumbered) and working in the technical sector (where women are negatively stereotyped) predicted the highest levels of experienced gender identity threat, particularly among women who highly identified with their gender group. Gender identity threat, in turn, negatively predicted women’s work engagement and career confidence. Men did not face double trouble: Their experience of gender identity threat was not related to working in a masculine STEM sector. Importantly, considering that the women in this sample already hold a degree in STEM, and have proven their competence in STEM and resilience to gender stereotypes, this research reveals how in naturalistic work settings, prevailing social identity threats continue to affect women’s professional careers.

“…The policies and practices that employees perceive to be in place (Hall et al 2018a) predict the degree to which women report feeling accepted and respected by their male colleagues during daily workplace interactions. These feelings of acceptance and respect then reduce women's concerns that they are judged on the basis of their gender (i.e., lowering social identity threat), diminish their feelings of workplace burnout (Hall et al 2018b), and empower them to confront sexism. This framework can provide a roadmap for cultural change.…”

Science and engineering research excellence can be maximized if the selection of researchers is made from 100% of the pool of human talent. This requires policies and approaches that encourage broad sections of society, including women and other underrepresented groups, to participate in research. Institutional policies, interpersonal interactions, and individuals' attitudes are drivers of workplace culture. Here, some new evidence-based and systematic approaches with a focus on culture are proposed to foster women's inclusion and success in science and engineering.

“…The purpose of this research is to address ongoing debates about whether feelings of disgust are causally related to moral judgments [10]; (4) climate control: the relationship between social identity threat and cues to an identity-safe culture. The focus of the present research was to examine how cues to an identity-safe culture predict more or less positive interactions between men and women in STEM in ways that may trigger or minimize women's daily experience of social identity threat [11]; (5) psychological distance modulates goal-based versus movement-based imitation. The researchers found that the 2 forms of imitation are flexibly deployed in accordance with the psychological distance from the model [12].…”

The purpose of this research is: (a) to describe the types of psychological conflict of the main actor in the suffragette film based on Kurt Lewin's perspective; (b) to explain the causes of psychological conflict of the main actor in the suffragette film based on KurtLewin's perspective; (c) and to understand the impact of the psychological conflict of main actor in the Suffragette films based on Kurt Lewin's perspective. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. The primary data source is a film titled Suffragette directed by Sarah Gavron and secondary data sources in the form of books, journals, and the internet related to this study. The techniques of data collection used are watching, reading, and noting. The techniques of data validation used are increasing perseverance, triangulation, and discussing with the expert. The data analysis technique used is by understanding, grouping, and interpreting data. The results of the study show that:(a) The types of psychological conflict in this film are (1) Approach-approach conflict; (2) Approach-avoidance conflict; and (3) Multiple approach-avoidance conflict; (b) The causes of the conflict are: (1) Maud Watts replaces Violet to convey her witness about women; (2) Violet invited to attend a women's movement meeting led by Mrs. Pankhurst; (3) Maud Watts received an offer from Mr. Steed is a law enforcer to become a suffragette spy; (c) The impacts of the psychological conflict to main actor are:(1) Maud Watts experienced disappointment with the government, the family of Maud Watts became unharmed because her husband continued to be ridiculed by friends at his workplace. Maud Watts was also ostracized by his neighbors; (2) Maud Watts suffered tortures such as punches and verbal abuse from the police, the husband did not allow him to meet George. Maud Watts felt deep sadness at parting with George, and a great disappointment to her husband; (3) Maud Watts felt sadness mixed with remorse due to the death of Emily for her struggle.
