Salient Identities as Predictors of Perceived Task Difficulty.​ This research paper examines the relationship between identity salience and task difficulty. Prior work found that students leverage researcher, scientist, and engineer identities when completing research tasks: this paper uses linear regression to test the salience (likelihood that identity will be leveraged in a given situation) of these identities as a predictor of task difficulty. Researcher identity salience was the strongest predictor of task difficulty, a relationship moderated by degree type (Master’s or Doctoral) [36].Graduate Student Experiences 1. Improving
