andsocial identity development is Turner et al.’s [14] Self-Categorization Theory. This theoryexplicitly notes that, depending on a situation’s relative value to a person, one or both identitytypes will influence the person’s behavior. This is also the reigning difference between Tajfel’s[14] Social Identity Theory and Turner’s [18] Self-Categorization Theory; where the former“suggests a continuum of interpersonal versus intergroup behavior,” the latter “pronounces thatboth—social and personal identity processes—may be at work simultaneously” [15]. Self-Categorization notes that personal identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s personalattributes and social identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s membership of a

widely used approach in qualitative research, was used in this study toidentify, analyze, and report patterns within data [26]. As described by Braun and Clarke [26],“[a] theme captures something important about the data in relation to the research question andrepresents some level of patterned response or meaning within the data set” (p. 82).Data coding: ATLAS.ti was the platform used for this study to generate, and organize the codes.After verbatim transcription, the data was systematically coded. In particular, we identified partsof the texts where participants referred to particular events and stories related to ethics andequity. Then, we developed codes for each identified story to capture the main issue(s) that wereraised. This was done by

Twenty of the participants were men(80%), whereas five participants were women (20%), which is consistent with gender diversityin the engineering profession (Pew Research Center, 2021). The study included eighteen Whiteparticipants (72%), three Asian participants (12%), two Hispanic participants (8%), and twoBlack participants (8%), which is consistent with racial diversity in the engineering profession(Pew Research Center, 2021). The sample included age groups from participants in their 20’sthrough participants in their 80’s. However, the average age of participants was

For this reason, the demographics itemswere moved to be placed at the end of the survey.Survey AdministrationIn Spring 2023, the survey was administered to aerospace engineering undergraduate students atthe University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Michigan. Students were surveyed intwo classes where we were implementing macroethics lessons–a sophomore aerospace vehicledesign course at the University of Colorado Boulder and a senior space system design course atthe University of Michigan. Prior to the planned macroethics lesson(s), students enrolled
