Children as young as seven begin to internalize stereotypes about who is more or less likely to pursue occupations related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)—beliefs that may influence career choices as they approach adulthood, according to a new child psychology study. The work is published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology.
