Women remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and these male‐dominated fields are often described as “chilly” and unwelcoming to women. This study examined the potential moderating effect of chilly climate on woman–scientist identity interference and academic burnout among 363 female undergraduate STEM students. Results indicated that identity interference related to greater emotional exhaustion, greater cynicism, and lower academic efficacy. A chillier climate related to more emotional exhaustion and cynicism. Furthermore, a positive relation was found between woman–scientist interference and cynicism when chilly climate was low or moderate. When interference was high, chilly climate did not have a relation with cynicism. When women experienced many threats (i.e., high chilly climate, high interference), they reached a threshold where additional emotional cost did not matter. Results highlight the importance of improving the campus climate for female scientists, as well as the need to assist female scientists in identity development.

STEM领域大学生女性的身份,校园气候和职业倦怠

妇女在科学,技术,工程和数学(STEM)中的代表性仍然不足,而这些男性占主导地位的领域通常被描述为“冷漠”,不欢迎女性。这项研究检验了363名女STEM女学生中寒冷气候对女性科学家身份干扰和学业倦怠的潜在调节作用。结果表明,身份干扰与情绪疲惫,玩世不恭和学术效能下降有关。较冷的气候与更多的情绪疲惫和玩世不恭有关。此外,在寒冷或中度寒冷的天气中,女性科学家的干预与玩世不恭之间存在正相关关系。当干扰很大时,寒冷的气候与玩世不恭没有关系。当妇女遇到许多威胁时(例如寒冷的天气,高干扰),他们达到了一个阈值,在此阈值上,额外的情感成本并不重要。结果强调了改善女科学家校园气候的重要性,以及帮助女科学家发展身份的必要性。
