One line of research focuses on academic identity and career preferences. In particular, our research seeks to shed light on why women and members of some ethnic-racial groups are not well represented in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A second line of research focuses on gender development and gender-role ideologies. We are interested in the associations between these constructs and individuals\u2019 preferences in romantic relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
