Maholmes, Valerie
Race, Gender & Class, v8 n1 p8-21 2001
Investigated warning signs of stereotype threat in urban elementary and secondary school students' attitudes toward mathematics and science education. Surveys indicated that most respondents considered themselves good students. Students were generally not interested in pursuing careers in mathematics and science. Students differed by age, gender, and race in who they would ask for help with schoolwork. (SM)
