High-Ability Women and Men in Undergraduate Mathematics and Chemistry Courses.

Bali, John; And Others

American Educational Research Journal, v22 n4 p605-26 Win 1985

Using samples of college students of very high ability and strong academic background, sex differences in performance and perceptions of performance in introductory chemistry and mathematics courses were studied. Considerable differences favoring men were found, and these appeared to be due primarily to differences in mathematics background. (Author/LMO)
