This study examined the long-term effects of perceived educational and career barriers due to sexism and racism in college students’ pursuit of postgraduate education (PE) and how such effects were different across gender and racial majority/minority groups. With a sample of 2,717 undergraduate students, results from multinomial logistic regression showed that female and students of color not only perceived higher levels of barriers due to sexism and racism, such experiences further predicted the discrepancies between their precollege aspirations and actual pursuit for postgraduate degrees upon graduation. The higher the perceived barriers, the higher the odds of female and students of color not pursuing PE that they had aspired before college. This negative long-term effect was not observed in male students or White students. Moreover, when intersectionality was considered, women of color was the only group where perceived barriers had significant negative effects on the PE gap. Implications were discussed.

这项研究调查了在大学生追求研究生教育（PE）时，由于性别歧视和种族歧视导致的感知的教育和职业障碍的长期影响，以及这些影响在性别和种族多数/少数民族之间的差异。通过对2,717名大学生的抽样调查，多项逻辑回归结果显示，有色女性和有色学生不仅由于性别歧视和种族主义而感觉到更高的障碍，而且这种经历进一步预测了她们的大学志愿与实际追求大学学位之间的差异。毕业。感知障碍越高，女性和有色人种的学生在大学之前不追求体育的几率就越高。在男性学生或白人学生中未观察到这种负面的长期影响。而且，当考虑到交叉性时，有色女性是唯一感知障碍对PE间隙有显着负面影响的人群。讨论了含义。
