N = 248. Cronbach’s Alpha is on the diagonal in the parentheses for psychometric variables. Gender was coded as 1 = female, 0 = male; Academic degree (1 = yes, 2 = no); First-gen = first-generation college student (1 = yes, 0 = no); PLE = Past leadership experience (1 = yes, 0 = no); SSRM = same-sex role model (1 = yes, 0 = no); FLSA = female leadership strength awareness; AFF-MTL = affective-identity motivation to lead; SN-MTL = social normative motivation to lead; NC-MTL = non-calculative motivation to lead; PS-MTL = prosocial motivation to lead. *p < 0.05.
