Experimental Design (Public) 1. Participants recruited to the experiment will be current students (Undergraduate and Graduate-level) at the investigating University across academic fields. Sessions will be held in-person and potentially online (via zoom) formats. 2. Participants will provide their field of study and estimated GPA and answer a pre-video questionnaire. Participants will also respond to binding questions which elicit their perceptions of their peers’ likelihood to pursue further education, by gender. 3. Participants will view a video showcasing notable persons in academia. The video shown will differ between treatments and will vary the gender diversity of the panel of academics depicted. 4. Participants will answer a post-video questionnaire. Participants will again respond to binding questions which elicit their perceptions of their peers’ likelihood to pursue further education, by gender. 5. Participants will provide demographic information. 6. Participants will be entered into a random draw to win 1 of 50 $25 gift cards. Additionally, the participant who guesses closes to the true value for the selected binding question will receive a $25 gift card (separate to the random draw). 7. Expert predictions of treatment outcomes are elicited via the Social Science Prediction Platform (https://socialscienceprediction.org/) and are compared to experimental results after the study’s conclusion. 1.

Randomization Method Participants are randomly selected into treatment sessions via random sorting in Excel. Random draw gift card recipients are selected via a random number generator. Participants are randomly selected into treatment sessions via random sorting in Excel.
