Research summary
AI-generated

Angelina Joy studies how adolescents, particularly girls and youth of color, develop motivation, identity, and interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields, both in school and in informal learning settings like museums or after-school programs. Her work examines how factors such as growth mindset, perceived discrimination, stereotypes about scientists, and feelings of belonging shape whether young people pursue STEM careers or coursework. She frequently uses longitudinal and latent class analysis methods to track how these beliefs and barriers change over time.
