Gender Differences in Performance on Mathematics Items: Evidence from the United States and Thailand.
Engelhard, George, Jr.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v15 n1 p13-26 Jan 1990
The relationship between gender and performance on mathematics items varying in level of cognitive complexity and content was assessed, using 1,789 female and 1,951 male Thai adolescents and 2,040 female and 1,884 male American adolescents. Data suggest that performance relative to both cognitive complexity and content is related to gender. (TJH)
