Truman, David B. – 1970
Women are taught from a very early age that their major role to be played in society is that of wife and mother. This lesson appears to be reinforced throughout a girl's life, especially if she is educated in coeducational institutions. In such sexually mixed institutions, girls are not only in competition for men, but they are in competition with…

Diehl, Lesley A. – American Psychologist, 1986
The paradox of G. Stanley Hall seems to be his stance against coeducation simultaneous with his role as an educator of women. His theories must be considered in the context of the prevailing attitudes of the early 20th century toward the issue of sex differences. Hall was consistent in translating his theories into practice. (Author/VM)

Impact of Coeducation on "Fear of Success" Imagery Expressed by Male and Female High School Students

Winchel, Ronald; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1974
Results indicate that increased cross-sex competition increases fear of success in females. It appears, however, that the motive is largely formed before a girl reaches high school and that females who have not learned to avoid success in the presence of male classmates in elementary school do not fear success.

French, Jane – Educational Research, 1984
A verbatim transcription of a lesson in a class of 10- to 11-year-olds is analyzed to support the observation that, in mixed-sex classrooms, male pupils receive more teacher attention than females. Among the reasons found for this imbalance is the tendency of boys to engage in strategies to secure attention. (SK)
