摘要

当被要求画一名科学家时,儿童通常会画出性别刻板印象中的男性形象;然而,尚未有研究从科学家刻板印象中的肤色角度对这些形象进行评估。本研究通过分析儿童所画科学家的性别、肤色以及刻板印象中的特征(白大褂、科学仪器等),考察了儿童(人数=69,66.7%为女性,年龄=7.60,标准差=2.13)对科学家的看法。本研究还考察了这些反映在图画中的看法与儿童明确的性别定型观念及其科学成长心态之间的关系。与女孩相比,男孩不太可能画出女科学家。此外,成长心态较高的儿童更有可能画出女科学家。最后,随着年龄的增长,与男性科学家或肤色较浅的科学家相比,儿童不太可能画女性科学家或肤色较深的科学家,而更有可能画具有刻板印象特征的科学家。这项研究进一步加深了我们对儿童对科学家看法的了解。

What does a scientist look like? Children's perceptions of scientist gender and skin tone
When asked to draw a scientist, children typically draw a gender stereotypical male representation; however, research has not yet assessed these representations in terms of scientist stereotypical skin tone. The current study examined children's (N = 69, 66.7% female, Mage = 7.60, SD = 2.13) scientist perceptions by analyzing both the gender and skin tone of their scientist drawings as well as stereotypical features represented (lab coats, scientific instruments, etc.). This study also examined how these perceptions as reflected in the drawings were related to children's explicit gender stereotypes and their science growth mindset. Boys were less likely to draw a female scientist than were girls. Additionally, children with higher growth mindset were more likely to draw a female scientist. Lastly, with age, children were less likely to draw a female scientist, or a darker skin‐toned scientist as compared with a male or lighter skin‐toned scientist and were more likely to draw a scientist with stereotypical features. This study furthers our knowledge of children's perceptions about scientists.
