“…The main question guiding this research was, “In what ways might social identities influence students’ career-related self-knowledge, options knowledge, decision-making, and executive processing?” Students reported that various SIs influenced each component of career decision-making (Sampson et al, 2023), as well as their overall career decision-making. Our results echo findings from previously described articles of the influence of specific SIs on specific career decision-making constructs, such as how race is related to career interests (Lannin et al, 2023), how social and cultural influences affect options under consideration (Wijekoon & Peter, 2023), how sexual identity can influence career decision-making (Jang et al, 2021a), and how mental health is related to negative career thoughts (Hayden & Osborn, 2020).…”

Social identities impact the way individuals see themselves and their career options but career theories have been slow to the call in exploring how social identities interface with theoretical assumptions. The purpose of this study was to examine how social identities affect and inform specific dimensions identified by cognitive information processing (CIP) theory as being essential for effective career decision-making, that is, self-knowledge, options knowledge, decision-making process and skills, career beliefs, and overall career decision. Seventy-six students across ten sections of an undergraduate CIP-based career development course answered questions on an anonymous survey related to how their social identities impacted aspects of their career decision-making. Frequencies for social identities were calculated for each CIP dimension, and 11 categories identified for open-ended responses using the consensual qualitative research-modified approach accompanied pre-determined domains based on CIP theory. Across each component, the most common SI was age and generational differences. While students expressed the influence of social identities as occurring in each CIP dimension, statements related to the self-concept category occurred most often and were present in each domain. Our findings support previous work that the presence and impact of SIs on career decision-making components is undeniable, but also not universal. CIP theory provides a structure and avenues for discussing the role of social identities in career decision-making.

“…They found that in the United States, distributive justice that focuses on fence-line communities of colour was more prevalent based on decades of grassroots activism, while in Scotland, procedural justice that focused on inclusion in decision making was more common, based on generations of regional exclusion from the ruling state (Blue et al 2021; also see Holifield et al 2009). Expertise, common sense, and internal bias are all based in researcher's positionality within existing cultural, social, geographic, and professional structures, and disclosing their particularities allows for more transparency and accountability (Harding 1995;Magaya and Fitchett 2022;Wijekoon and Peter 2022).…”

Models of justice evoked in published scientific studies of plastic pollution

An exponentially growing body of international research engages with plastic pollution using different ideas on the right ways to frame, research, and intervene in the problem. The premise of this study is that all scientists work with understandings of what is right and wrong and why that is (models of justice) in their research, even when it is not explicitly stated, reflected upon, or a conscious part of the discussion. We surveyed 755 published articles on marine debris and plastic chemical additives and found that all evoked at least one model of justice, and often more. The most routinely used models included: developmental justice, distributive justice, and procedural justice. More rarely, we found appeals to environment-first justice and Indigenous sovereignty. While occasionally these multiple models worked synergistically, more often they conflicted. Our findings ground a call for fellow researchers to use a more intentional and systematic approach to evoking models of justice in our work. Our goal is to offer descriptions and insights about models of justice that are already being deployed to increase the sophistication of the ethical and normative orientations of our research and our fields, both in plastic pollution sciences and beyond.
