Gender and Antecedents of Performance in Mathematics Testing.
Gallagher, Ann
Teachers College Record, v100 n2 p297-314 Win 1998
Using Halpern's 1997 psychosocial model of cognitive development, this article evaluates and extends the literature demonstrating that gender differences on standardized tests of quantitative reasoning may reflect underlying differences in cognitive processing that may be explained in part by socialization patterns inherent in American culture. Looks at cognitive psychology and social psychology as explanations. (SM)
