It’s a tough time for STEM education research right now, but we are still excited to share our new PNAS paper, “Divergence in children’s gender stereotypes and motivation across STEM fields”! We have big surveys (2,765 students in Grades 1-12), 2 pre-registered studies, and open data. (1/13)

Hi methodologists! My grad student is looking for a good reference paper that uses moderated hierarchical multiple linear regression on a dataset with multiple imputation, or a guide on how to write up the results. Does anyone have any good leads for him? Thanks so much! @aeraedresearch.bsky.social
