Compared to other studies in the previous subgroups, all the studies inthe third batch emphasized engineering and science students’ achievement motivation. The maintakeaway was that female college students had high self-efficacy, and their choice of masterygoals contributed to their persistence in both engineering and science (Deemer et al., 2016;Jagacinski, 2013; Gatz et al., 2019; Verdin et al., 2015). It should be noted that their achievementmotivation was adversely affected by stereotyping and fear of failure.DiscussionOverall, our systematic review results highlight that the understanding and the reflection of sexdifferences on STEM-based

For example, studentswho attended undergraduate institutions that primarily serve underrepresented racial and ethnicpopulations encounter different socialization processes than those who attended predominantly whiteinstitutions [30]. This study seeks to remain grounded in the Socialization of individual students and isnot intended to compare different institutional cultures or McNair programs. However, we acknowledgethat the culture of a student's undergraduate institution will influence
