"I can, but I don't want to" : the impact of parents, interests, and activities on gender differences in math / Janis E. Jacobs, Pamela Davis-Kean, Martha Bleeker, Jacquelynne S. Eccles and Oksana Malanchuk -- 13. Gender effects on mathematics achievement : mediating role of state and trait self-regulation / Eunsook Hong, Harold F. O'Neil and David Feldon -- 14. Gender differences in mathematics self-efficacy beliefs / Frank Pajares -- 15. Gender differences in mathematics : what we know and what we need to know / Ann M. Gallagher and James C. Kaufman.
Review: "Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics, yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and, therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores, then they also receive fewer opportunities." "Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of chapters that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories."--BOOK JACKET.
