Explaining Gender Differences on SAT-Math Items.
Byrnes, James P.; Takahira, Sayuri
Developmental Psychology, v29 n5 p805-10 Sep 1993
A total of 108 eleventh and twelfth graders were given a strategy questionnaire and sample Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) math items in an attempt to explain gender differences on this test. Results showed that, although male students performed better on the SAT math items, prior knowledge and strategies explained nearly 50% of the variance. (MDM)
