Context, Confidence and the Able Girl.
Jones, L. G.; Jones, L. P.
Educational Research, v31 n3 p189-94 Oct 1989
To measure level of confidence in mathematics and science of girls, 87 girls and 73 boys in third year of British secondary school were asked whether they could answer four questions correctly; girls also estimated boys' and girls' probable responses. A model for raising consciousness of girls about their level of self-confidence and factors that affect it were developed. (JOW)
