Sex-test Interactions in the Measurement of an Integrated Process Skill: the Sex-gender Hypothesis.
Ross, John A.
Research in Science and Technological Education, v6 n2 p193-204 1988
The hypothesis that males will perform better on items containing masculine content and girls will score higher on feminine content items was tested with data from a training study intended to improve the ability of 11-year olds to design a controlled experiment. The findings provide weak support for the hypothesis. (Author/YP)
