Agnoli, Franca; Melchiorre, Francesca; Zandonella Callegher, Claudio; Altoè, Gianmarco – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Many studies have found that males, on average, perform better than females in mathematics, although the size of this gender gap is small and varies considerably across countries. Stereotype threat has been proposed as a principal cause of this gender gap. From this perspective, females' performance is affected by fear of confirming a negative…
