There is a considerable lack of women in the engineering disciplines at tertiary level in New Zealand. This is an economic issue because innovation and creativity in engineering are supported by diversity which directly and indirectly supports the New Zealand economy. Improving diversity in engineering will also improve equity. Literature suggests that parents, teachers, students’ self-perception, their beliefs, and stereotypical views influence girls’ career selection. Despite the vast number of studies in the international literature regarding the influencing factors on women’s career selection in engineering, this comprehensive study for the first time investigates the factors that contribute to women’s interest in studying engineering in New Zealand. The researchers explored these influencing factors from three lenses; future teachers of children aged 11–13 years, current engineering students and high school students. They found that participants held very strong stereotypical views about engineers, that barriers to selection of engineering pathway for females included a lack of career and subject choice guidance available to students at school, lack of promotion of the profession, and society’s perception of engineers as being masculine. It also found that experiences throughout their lives can steer girls away from a career in engineering.

The colour of gender stereotyping

Despite legislative attempts to eliminate gender stereotyping from society, the propensity to evaluate people on the basis of their sex remains a pernicious social problem. Noting the critical interplay between cultural and cognitive factors in the establishment of stereotypical beliefs, the current investigation explored the extent to which culturally transmitted colour-gender associations (i.e., pink is for girls, blue is for boys) set the stage for the automatic activation and expression of gender stereotypes. Across six experiments, the results demonstrated that (1) consumer choice for children's goods is dominated by gender-stereotyped colours (Experiment 1); (2) colour-based stereotypic associations guide young children's behaviour (Experiment 2); (3) colour-gender associations automatically activate associated stereotypes in adulthood (Experiments 3-5); and (4) colour-based stereotypic associations bias impressions of male and female targets (Experiment 6). These findings indicate that, despite prohibitions against stereotyping, seemingly innocuous societal practices may continue to promote this mode of thought.

Bu derleme, çocukluk döneminde liderliğin ortaya çıkışını ve gelişimini, özellikle benlik ve sosyal kimlik oluşumunun psiko-sosyal gelişimle olan etkileşimine odaklanarak eleştirel bir şekilde incelemektedir. Liderlik, genellikle müstakil bir beceri olarak görülse de bu bakış açısı sosyal ve psikolojik faktörlerin önemli etkilerini dikkate almamaktadır. Bu derlemede, dört gelişimsel yaklaşımın, Gelişimsel Gruplararası Kuramının, Sosyal Kimlik Gelişim Kuramının, Sosyal Akıl Yürütme Gelişim Modelinin ve Gelişimsel Öznel Grup Dinamikleri Modelinin, çocuklarda liderlik gelişimine ilişkin kuramsal açıklamaları ve araştırma bulguları sunulmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımların sosyal kimlik gelişim süreçlerinin sonuçları olarak liderlik motivasyonlarının ve davranışlarının ortaya çıktığı örüntüleri aydınlatmadaki rolü eleştirel bir şekilde değerlendirilmektedir. Bu kuramların ortak noktaları, grup süreçleri içerisinde ortaya çıkan liderliğin, olumlu benlik motivasyonuna dayandığı, gerçekliği anlama arayışı ile kavrayabilme becerisine ve sosyal çevreden bilgi toplama kapasitesine sahip olmayı gerektirdiğini öne sürmeleridir.
