Sex Differences in a Causal Model of Mathematics Achievement.
Ethington, Corinna A.; Wolfle, Lee M.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v15 n5 p361-77 Nov 1984
Reanalysis of data for 13,200 twelfth-grade students indicated that sex has a significant effect on mathematics achievement even after controlling for sex differences in spatial abilities and background and interest in mathematics. Women tend to have less spatial visualization ability, and its effects on mathematics achievement are greater for women. (MNS)
