Some Sex-Related Differences in the Correlates of Subject Preference in the Middle Years of Secondary Education
Keys, Wendy; Ormerod, Milton B.
Educational Studies, 3, 2, 111-6, Jun 77

The conclusion is that the differences in student attitudes are due to cultural influences rather than intellectual ability. Decreasing the level of perceived subject difficulty is suggested as a means of attracting more girls to physics and chemistry. (Author/DB)
