Social Sciences - Human Resources / job hunt and carrier advice for women
English term or phrase: premature cognitive commitments
Contexte : je traduis une série d'articles donnant des conseils destinés aux femmes dans le domaine de la gestion de carrière et de la recherche d'emploi.

L'expression se situe à la fin de cet extrait :

* * *
A few months ago, I had a session with a young woman who was finishing her MBA. She was petrified about finding a job. "I want to work in finance, and I did fine in my finance courses, " she said. "But I know I can't do math."

"Really? I thought you said you did well in finance. Who told you you're not good in math?"

"Well, I was never as good as my brothers when we were growing up. And my father always said girls just weren't cut out to work with numbers. My mother never learned to balance the checkbook."

"Amazing," you think. "That couldn't happen to me. How wrong-headed of that family." But you know what? The process of making current decisions based on ridiculous old scripts happens all the time. It's called "premature cognitive commitments."
* * *

L'intégralité de l'article est consultable sur le lien suivant :

J'ai bien sûr tout de suite pensé à traduire par "engagements cognitifs prématurés" mais les occurrences de cette expression dans Google sont inexistantes (en français).

Merci d'avance

des idées préconçues sur leur devenir professionnel


Explanation:
Les parents ont souvent tendance à classer leurs enfants dans telle ou telle catégorie quand ils pensent à leurs études et à leur métier futur..Pendant longtemps, par exemple, les petites filles étaient destinées à devenir institutrices ou infirmières et les garçons ingénieurs ou médecins ou militaires ....Les sciences étaient réservées à la gent masculine....et les filles étaient censées être faibles en maths...de toutes façons, leur mère l'ayant elle-même souvent été.
C'est du moins ce que l'article laisse entendre, je pense.
