  1. **Correlation is significant at the .01 level (2-tailed)
  2. Note: The variables task difficulty, effort, satisfaction, collaboration, feel like an engineer, help from the teaching assistant and self-confidence were assessed on a continuous scale ranging from 1 to 5. Task value was assessed on a continuous scale ranging from 3 to 15. For all scales, higher values are indicative of more positive response. Binary codes were created for gender (Male = 0; Female = 1) and URM status (non-URM = 0; URM = 1)
