In the first year of the project, we directly asked students to identifytheir role models and whether they thought of their EOEs as role models. Consistent withprevious research on children’s role models [13], students most often mentioned family membersas role models, followed by celebrities (e.g., athletes, singers), teachers and fellow classmates,with only a handful citing EOEs.
