Asking young girls to "do science" leads them to show greater persistence in science activities than does asking them to "be scientists," finds a new psychology study by researchers at New York University and Princeton University.
"Describing science as actions, by saying 'let's do science,' leads to more science engagement than does describing science in terms of identities, by asking them to 'be scientists'" explains Marjorie Rhodes, an associate professor in NYU's Department of Psychology and the senior author of the study, which appears in the journal Psychological Science.

What would you do if you found a penguin in the freezer? How would you describe the color yellow to a blind person? How many square feet of pizza is eaten in the U.S. each year?

For decades, policymakers have focused on STEM skill training as a pathway into the middle class, pointing to significant earnings premiums and a growing job market in that sector. As we have recently pointed out, however, the STEM earnings premium is relatively short-lived, while long-term success may depend more on the development of a holistic set of “hard” and “soft” skills (i.e., non-cognitive or socio-emotional skills) that are crucial to workforce perseverance and adaptability.
