Gender Differences in Scholastic Aptitude Test--Mathematics Problem Solving among High-Ability Students.
Gallagher, Ann M.; De Lisi, Richard
Journal of Educational Psychology, v86 n2 p204-11 Jun 1994
Whether male and female high school students of high mathematics ability use different solution strategies on problems whose responses had previously shown gender differences was studied with 25 males and 22 females. Females were more likely to use conventional problem-solving strategies, and the use of conventional strategies was associated with negative mathematics attitudes. (SLD)
