The Space Factor in Mathematics: Gender Differences.
Friedman, Lynn
Review of Educational Research, v65 n1 p22-50 Spr 1995
Meta-analytic results reported show that in selected examples, mathematics-space correlations are higher in females than in males, with the difference becoming more pronounced with greater selectivity. Because these samples are of gifted or college-bound youth, explanations that emphasize career-directed attitudes are suggested. (SLD)
