Abstract:

Results from a recent web survey of young women that examines perceptions of discrimination in science classrooms are used to show the value of the vignette method for researchers using new technologies. The vignette findings suggest that a majority of young African American women see race and gender barriers in the science classroom. Although African American women see race as a more formidable barrier than gender, they are more likely than white women to see gender barriers as well. Results reveal advantages of the vignette method for gaining detail and control in the context of the social survey. It is argued that the combination of web survey technology and vignette methodology has considerable potential for providing substantive insights in social science research.
