Title: The development of STEM motivation among diverse adolescents: Barriers and sources of support Abstract: Adolescentsare busy exploring their identities and life goals, including what kind ofcareers they want to go into. STEM careers are a popular dream job among someadolescents, but there are inequities in motivation to enter STEM careers andtake STEM courses based on gender, race/ethnicity, and social class. This talkexplores barriers to STEM motivation among adolescents (such as stereotypes) aswell as ways to motivate adolescents in STEM (such as via family support).

Title: Here or There? LGBTQ+Students’ Access to Safe Schools by Locale in Wisconsin Abstract: Amid increasing political efforts to expand or restrict LGBTQ+-affirming practices in K-12 schools, LGBTQ+ students’ access to safe schools varies across Wisconsin. In this talk, I draw on the geography of opportunity framework to consider LGBTQ+ students (1) exposure to discrimination and (2) access to affirming resources in schools. I will present two studies that examine LGBTQ+ middle and high school students’ school safety and mental health first across city, suburban, town, and rural school districts in Dane County, Wisconsin, and then across schools in the state of Wisconsin. My research highlights LGBTQ+ students’ inequitable access to safe schools by locale in Wisconsin and considers where educational policymakers and practitioners should bolster LGBTQ+-affirming practices.

Room 259 | Educational Sciences, 1025 W Johnson St, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Kat Swerbenski, Graduate Student and ITP Fellow, Psychology, UW-Madison Title: Making "Fast Friends" during childhood and adolescence: Examining online and school contexts Abstract: Close peer relationships are critical to children's and adolescents’ healthy development and well-being, yet youth sometimes struggle to make friends. This work tested whether an online version of the Fast Friends procedure could engender closeness among 9- to 13-year-old youth. Participant dyads were randomly assigned to answer personal questions that encourage self-disclosure and play a collaborative game (Fast Friends condition) or to engage in similar activities without self-disclosure or collaboration (control condition). To build on this research, we are working on adapting the procedure to help students form close peer relationships during school transitions, which is a time in which students’ social networks are typically disrupted, which can result in students feeling a diminished sense of social support.
