Student Attitudes, Image and the Gender Gap.
Warrington, M.; Younger, M.; Williams, J.
British Educational Research Journal, v26 n3 p393-407 Jun 2000
Explores the different attitudes of English girls and boys to General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) work. Provides suggestions to account for the differences, particularly related to peer pressure, image, and social groupings. Finds that boys were ridiculed more for working hard and were under greater pressure to confirm to a cool, masculine image. (CMK)
