Stereotype Threat and Gender: Math Performance in Chinese College Students
A series of studies in China, designed to evaluate the generality of the phenomenon of stereotype threat as a factor in the under-representation of Chinese women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, failed to demonstrate either threat effects or the typical math-gender gap. Our exploration of the math-gender gap in the United States led us to a description of the types of questions on the SAT-M and GRE-M and gender differe…
Interteaching: Students as Teachers in Lower-Division Sociology Courses

During this period, when wages and salaries were dictated by the central…
