Women are still underrepresented in math-intensive
fields like computer science or engineering.
Math-gender stereotypes have been identified to
diminish both math performance and math interest in
women. Petra Jelenec investigated implicit
math-gender stereotypes in children and adolescents
with Implicit Association Tests (IATs) and Go/No-Go
Association Tasks (GNATs). In a large German sample,
implicit math-gender stereotypes could be detected
predominantly in girls. Girls at the age of 9 years
already revealed implicit math-gender stereotypes,
and for adolescent girls, those implicit stereotypes
were related to academic outcome variables like
ability self-concepts and school grades in math and
German. Further, implicit math-gender stereotypes
turned out to be context-dependent. Female university
students showed a stronger implicit math-male bias
after completing a difficult math test that was
described in a stereotypical manner. This book is
intended for readers interested in implicit social
cognition and stereotype research.
