Persistence Is Cultural
研究工程专业学生从入学到毕业的过程，发现社会化使女性对融入工程文化信心不足，通过入学导向、课程仪式和实习预期社会化三个过程造成文化不匹配，从而延续职业性别隔离。
Why does sex segregation in professional occupations persist? Arguing that the cultures and practices of professional socialization serve to perpetuate this segregation, the authors examine the case of engineering. Using interview and diary entry data following students from college entry to graduation, the authors show how socialization leads women to develop less confidence that they will “fit” into the culture of engineering. The authors identify three processes that produce these cultural mismatches: orientation to engineering at college entry, initiation rituals in coursework and team projects, and anticipatory socialization during internships and summer jobs. Informal interactions with peers and everyday sexism in teams and internships are particularly salient building blocks of segregation.
