The research described in this dissertation proposal will examine a             variety of influences on the process of becoming a scientist. A series          of sophisticated multivariate analyses will be carried out using                several existing data sets: the 1962 and 1973 Postcensal Study of               Professional and Technical Manpower; several panels of the Survey of            Science and Engineering Graduates (the NSF New Entrants Study); and             both 1962 and 1973 Occupational Changes in a Generation Survey.                 Influences on this process which will be studied include demographic            factors (such as race/ethnicity, gender, birth cohort), socioeconomic           factors (parents' education, occupational status), other background             variables (father a scientist) and ability. The process itself will be          represented by such variables as the expressed aspirations for becoming         a scientist upon high school graduation, whether students remain                science majors or change into or out of a science major during college,         the likelihood of attaining a college degree in science, the likelihood         of continuing on in science after completing a bachelor's or master's           level science degree, and the likelihood of moving into adjacent                science fields following graduation from college. The project should            make a major contribution to our theoretical and empirical                      understanding of how social factors shape some of the events between            high school and mid-career which take place among students who may              potentially become college educated scientists. This research should            inform efforts to address current and expected shortages of science             personnel, male or female.
