fact, Table 4 shows that even though GPA did notcorrelate with any of the scales for men, we did see a significant correlation for women for theperformance-based Engineering Identity and Belonging. Keep in mind that there is no differencebetween the GPA for men and women. Examples of questions that show that these areperformance-based are: 1. “I can do well on exams in engineering.” (EI), 2. I can overcomesetbacks in engineering (EI), 3. “I think in the same way as do people who do well in chemicalengineering at X University.” (Belonging) 4. “Compared with most other students at XUniversity, I know how to do well in chemical engineering.” (Belonging).
