Gender Differences in Predictors of College Mathematics Performance and in College Mathematics Course Grades.
Bridgeman, Brent; Wendler, Cathy
Journal of Educational Psychology, v83 n2 p275-84 Jun 1991
Gender differences in college grades in first-year mathematics (algebra, precalculus, or calculus) and Scholastic Aptitude Test Mathematics (SAT-M) scores were studied for about 7,000 men and 5,000 women. Gender differences favoring women in grades and men in SAT-M scores cannot be explained in terms of differential course selection. (SLD)
