It, in turn, influences students’ confidence in their own ability to succeed and themotivation needed to persist in the field [7], [15]-[17].

The differencebetween women and men’s mean scores is consistently positive across all twenty screenerquestions, indicating that women consistently felt greater levels of stress about home life, career,physical health, mental health, and academics compared to the men. In general, the mean scoreswere highest, for both men and women, for academic related prompts.To better understand these differences, t-tests were performed for every item with the nullhypothesis that the two population means are equal.

Students clearly highly value and want to engage with thecommunity. This indicated that students might want more networking not only out of a desire toadvance their own careers, but also to help each other. By adding more time for it, it would alsohopefully help students feel like others rely on them, which on a higher level ties them morestrongly to community.

Rather, performance andcompetence are mediated by interest and recognition.
