Sex and Background Factors: Effect on ASAT Scores.

Adams, Raymond J.

Australian Journal of Education, v29 n3 p221-30 Nov 1985

Data sets from Australia were analyzed using a causal model to determine the possible causes of sex differences in ASAT scores. Observed differences could be explained in terms of differences in students' English scores, the time the students spent studying mathematics, and their confidence in success. (Author/MLW)
