Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGender, Stereotype Threat and Mathematics Test ScoresMing Tsui, Xiao Y. Xu, Edmond VenatorProblem statement: Stereotype threat has repeatedly been shown to depress women’s scores on difficult math tests. An attempt to replicate these findings in China found no support for the stereotype threat hypothesis. Our math test was characterized as being personally important for the student participants, an atypical condition in most stereotype threat laboratory research. Approach: To evaluate the effects of … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 16 Aug 2011 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite
