Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study is concerned with how undergraduate students in disciplines related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) select responses when answering demographic surveys, especially in cases where they are unable to map their identity onto provided responses. Fifteen undergraduate STEM students at various stages of their degrees were interviewed, and three types of demographic survey responses were identified: (1) alignment, (2) misreporting, and (3) misalignment. Based on the findings, an adaptation of Tourangeau et al.’s (2000) Components of Survey Response model is proposed. The findings have implications for furthering the understanding of the survey response process, how to ask sensitive questions, and the limitations of racial self-identification questions.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
