Abstract
Across two studies in team-based engineering courses, social network centrality analyses revealed that undergraduate women’s social identity threat was lowest when they reported mutually liking their (mostly male) teammates. Women who were liked by, but did not like, their male teammates reported the highest social identity threat.
