The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitudinal differences between individuals who pursue different degree paths. The study is grounded in social cognitive career theory and theory of intelligence measures. Despite a growing body of research on this issue, none have provided a holistic perspective and a sense of the interplay between the areas of personal perceptions and self-theories with different genders and different degree seekers.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitudinal differences between individuals who pursue different degree paths. The study is grounded in social cognitive career theory and theory of intelligence measures. Despite a growing body of research on this issue, none have provided a holistic perspective and a sense of the interplay between the areas of personal perceptions and self-theories with different genders and different degree seekers.
520 $a A logistic regression was utilized to validate the influence of academic aptitude on post-secondary degree choice. Confirming past research, this study found that math aptitude and gender are significant predictors of degree choice and career planning activities. Four multivariate analyses of covariance were also run to determine if differences existed in attitudinal factors between the males and females and non-STEM and STEM degree seekers. Results indicated that there are significant differences in the cope, outcome expectations, goals, interest, supports, and barriers constructs between the researched groups.
520 $a Recommendations for educators and counselors were drawn from the study findings including the need to focus on STEM literacy for both genders. The present study not only supports the need to develop the academic achievement of a student but also to develop their motivation through a growing awareness of the social and emotional contexts that they bring to the classroom. This study provides evidence of the need to rebalance the education equation to include equitable learning environments that foster motivation through teaching and learning that is rich and relevant to individual students. Additionally, recommendations for additional research were drawn including 1) expanding the current study to compare populations of different ethnicities, 2-year college students, and adult education populations, 2) a longevity study that followed students through their secondary program, through their post-secondary transition, and into the career area to see if the constructs change with time and experience, and 3) additional studies to determine why males expect less support and greater barriers in their careers, and what impact, if any, that is having on post-secondary degree choice.
