High School Mathematics Preparation and Sex Differences in Quantitative Abilities.
de Wolf, Virginia A.
A sample of 2,093 students was randomly selected from all Washington State high school juniors taking a pre-college test battery in 1973. For the entire sample "t" tests indicated males took significantly more mathematics and scored higher than females on quantitative, spatial, and mechanical tests, while females had significantly higher mathematics grades. However, after controlling for type of mathematics coursework taken, sex differences disappeared on two of the four quantitative tests and on spatial ability. (Author)
