Abstract Background The studies of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career interests have progressed substantially over the recent years. However, influence awareness on STEM is an area that requires further discussion. Evidently, Chinese adolescents limited interest in careers context cultural milieu, which can potentially constrain their future trajectories. This study explored high school students, examining mediating roles self-efficacy outcome expectations for courses this relationship. Additionally, it analyzes impact gender average levels interrelations these variables. A sample students from both eastern western regions China ( N = 2542) was selected, data analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach. Results findings indicate while impacts various types interests, minor differences exist effects. Specifically, analytical entirely mediated by courses. life-survival life-healthy mediation only partial, with respective effects accounting 39% 45%. Notably, significant mean-level between male female courses, yet relationships among variables remain consistent across genders. Conclusions underscores pivotal molding shedding light functions within Through gender-based analysis, offers valuable insights into differing inclinations realm, also revealing patterns These underscore necessity heightened efforts to bolster fortify particularly domains characterized notable disparities, aiming foster equitable advancement disciplines.
