Utilizing the High School Longitudinal Study, a nationally representative sample of U.S. high school students, this study investigates the factors that predict different beliefs about gendered math ability and the potential consequences for students’ choices to enter gender-segregated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors in college. Among other results, analyses reveal that while about 25 percent of students report a traditionally stereotypical belief in male superiority, about 20 percent report a counter-stereotypical belief in female superiority; among female students, such beliefs are more common among black students. Further, models reveal a robust association between holding counter-stereotypical beliefs and the likelihood that women choose biological science majors, which are female dominated, compared to non-STEM fields. Among men, holding counter-stereotypical beliefs is associated with a lower likelihood of majoring in physical science, computer science, math, and engineering fields, which are strongly male dominated, versus non-STEM fields. Implications for gender inequality in STEM fields are discussed.

Purpose of Study: The research aims to produce a mobile-based system for decision making to choose majors for high school students. Methodology: This type of research is development research using the Lee & Owens model and is validated by media experts and counseling teachers. Main findings: This research resulted in a mobile application that combines three types of psychological tests, namely multiple intelligence, Riasec, and personality types, to facilitate students in determining their majors.

Holland's Theory

Karir adalah salah satu hal penting yang perlu disiapkan dalam kehidupan seseorang. Perencanaan karir idealnya dilakukan pada masa remaja. Meskipun demikian, banyak siswa SMA masih belum bisa menentukan dan mengambil keputusan tentang pemilihan studi lanjut di Perguruan Tinggi. Lembaga Psikologi DTC membutuhkan pengembangan sistem agar dapat menggantikan peran dari sesi konseling untuk dapat memberikan rekomendasi jurusan kepada siswa yang berasal dari bimbingan belajar yang bekerja sama dengan mereka. Karena keterbatasan tenaga ahli untuk konseling di beberapa kota, maka dibutuhkan pengembangan sistem untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan. Pada penelitian ini, prototype psikotes yang akan dikembangkan adalah tes perencanaan karir. Tes perencanaan karir ini adalah tes model CBT (Computer Base Test) yang berisi tes kognitif (bakat) dan tes minat. Bentuk dari tes kognitif adalah multiple choice menggunakan teori Sternberg. Bentuk dari tes minat adalah forced choice menggunakan teori Holland. Hasil dari prototype ini berupa report yang berisi tentang hasil dari tes kognitif, tes minat dan rekomendasi jurusan yang cocok untuk siswa SMA.Kata Kunci — Sistem Pakar, Psikologi, Kognitif, Minat, Sternberg, Holland.Career is one of the important things that need to be prepared in a person's life. Career planning is ideally done in adolescence. Even so, many high school students still cannot determine and make decisions about the selection of advanced studies in college. The DTC Psychology Institute requires the development of a system so that it can replace the role of the counseling session to be able to provide recommendations of college majors to students from tutoring agency who collaborate with the DTC. Because of the limited expert for counseling in several cities, it is necessary to develop a system to improve service quality. In this study, the prototype psychological test that will be developed is a career planning test. This career planning test is a Computer Base Tes) model that contains cognitive tests (aptitude) and interest tests. The form of cognitive test is multiple choice using Sternberg’s theory. The form of interest test is forced choice using Holland’s theory. The results of this prototype is a report containing the results of cognitive tests, interest tests and recommendations of college majors that are suitable for high school students.Keywords— Expert System, Psychology, Cognitive, Interet, Sternberg, Holland.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.

Abstract. This study investigated the effects of politicians’ nonparticipatory and participatory Facebook posts on young people’s political efficacy – a key determinant of political participation. We employed an experimental design, using a sample of N = 125 high school students (15–20 years). Participants either saw a Facebook profile with no posts (control condition), nonparticipatory posts, or participatory posts. While nonparticipatory posts did not affect participants’ political efficacy, participatory posts exerted distinct effects. For those high in trait evaluations of the politician presented in the stimulus material or low in political cynicism, we found significant positive effects on external and collective efficacy. By contrast, for those low in trait evaluations or high in cynicism, we found significant negative effects on external and collective efficacy. We did not find any effects on internal efficacy. The importance of content-specific factors and individual predispositions in assessing the influence of social media use on participation is discussed.
