A large field study of children in first and second grade explored how parents' anxiety about math relates to their children's math achievement. The goal of the study was to better understand why some students perform worse in math than others. We tested whether parents' math anxiety predicts their children's math achievement across the school year. We found that when parents are more math anxi...

Title of Document: THE EFFECTS OF STEREOTYPE THREAT ON THE TEST PERFORMANCE AND TASK CHOICES OF WOMEN Paul R. Jones, Ph.D., 2005 Directed by: Professor Charles G. Stangor, Department of Psychology Can the activation of a prevalent stereotype alleging female math inferiority influence the math performance and task choice behavior of women? If so, what mediates each of these effects? In addition,...

In this paper, Hinkkanen’s problem (1984) is completely solved, i.e., it is shown that any meromorphic function f is determined by its zeros and poles and the zeros of f (j) for j = 1, 2, 3, 4. To appear in J. Canad. Math. / Canad. J. Math.

In chemistry, lack of academic preparation and math ability have been offered as explanations as to why women seem to enroll, perform, and graduate at lower levels than men. In this paper, we explore the alternative possibility that the gender gap in chemistry instead originates from differential gender effects of academic factors on students’ motivation. Using a sample of approximately 670 stu...

OBJECTIVE To examine how gradients in socioeconomic status (SES) impact US children's reading and math ability at kindergarten entry and determine the contributions of family background, health, home learning, parenting, and early education factors to those gradients. METHODS Analysis of 6600 children with cognitive assessments at kindergarten entry from the US Early Childhood Longitudinal Bi...

Our target article (Robinson-Cimpian, Lubienski, Ganley, & Copur-Gencturk, 2014) used nationally representative data to examine the development of gender gaps in math achievement. We found that when boys and girls demonstrate equivalent math test performance and are perceived by their teachers to be equally well behaved and engaged with the material, teachers tend to rate girls as less proficie...

Math anxiety as a stressful reaction to interacting with mathematics is common problem in education and highly prevalent across the globe. Moreover, math negatively correlated performance. Researchers are looking for promising ways mitigateits negative association by designing testing various interventions. This article presents review of intervention research aiming at regulating students’ anx...
