"When people think of computer science the image that immediately pops into many of their minds is of the computer geek surrounded by such things as computer games, science fiction memorabilia and junk food," said Sapna Cheryan, a professor of psychology. Such objects help create what Cheryan calls ambient belonging, or the feeling that you fit or don't fit in somewhere.
译：“当人们一想到计算机科学，那些被电脑游戏、科幻小说纪念品以及垃圾食物所包围的计算机狂人的形象就会立马在脑海中出现。”心理学教授Sapna Cheryan如是说道。这些物品帮助创造出了Cheryan称之的"周遭所有物"或者你适合或不适合某个地方的感觉。

Cheryan set up four experiments to look at possible reasons why the proportion of women in the field is dropping.In the first experiment, students entered a small classroom that either contained objects stereotypically associated with computer science such as Star Trek posters, video game boxes and Coke cans, or non-stereotypical items such as nature posters, art, a dictionary and coffee mugs.
译：Cheryan 设置了四个实验以探寻女性工作者在计算机科学领域比例下降的可能原因。在第一个实验中，学生们进入一个小房间，这个小房间要么含有诸如《星际迷航》海报、视频游戏盒和可乐罐等与老套的电脑科学狂人相关的物品，要么含有非老套的物品诸如自然海报、艺术品、一部字典或咖啡杯等。

Women who saw the stereotypical setup expressed less interest in computer science than those who saw the non-stereotypical objects. Men placed in the same situations did not show a similar drop in interest in computer science. Cheryan said this study suggests that a student's choice of classes or a major can be influenced by the appearance of classrooms, halls and offices.
译：看到老套环境的女性，对计算机科学表现出的兴趣要少于那些看到非老套物品的女性。而在相同情况下的男性却并未相似的失去兴趣。Cheryan 称这项研究表明学生们对于其课程或专业的选择可能受到相关教室、走廊和办公室环境的影响。

It would be nice for computer scientists in movies and television to be typical people, not only computer geeks."
译：“我们想要吸引更多的人来到计算机科学领域。我们需要使此领域的形象变得更为宽广，让女性和男性一样感到受欢迎。在工作场所和大学中，我们可以通过改变办公室、走廊以及实验室的外观来达到这个目的。电影和电视节目中的计算机科学家要都是正常点的而非计算机怪人那就更好了”
