The Impact of Math Attitudes and Gender in Future School Choice
Previous research indicates that cognitive and affective-motivational factors, along with gender, influence students’ educational choices, especially regarding STEM tracks. However, few longitudinal studies have examined these factors during middle school, a critical stage in shaping future academic trajectories. This study investigated the longitudinal contribution of gender, cognitive abilities, and affective-motivational factors, such as self-…
Cognitive and Affective-Emotional Factors in Math Achievement
In this study, we aimed to investigate the cognitive and affective-emotional factors underlying math achievement in a sample of 169 Japanese elementary school children. Using structural equation modeling, we examined the contributions of fluid and crystallized intelligence, verbal and spatial working memory, and affective-emotional variables, including general anxiety, test anxiety, math anxiety, and math self-efficacy. We found intelligence to b…
Sex Differences in Mathematics
The current meta-analysis of sex differences in mathematics builds upon the foundation laid by two large-scale analyses conducted years ago (e.g., Lindberg et al., 2010; Else-Quest et al., 2010). This meta-analysis provides a needed update and draws on a novel mix of studies, from experimental research to large-scale assessments, while offering a more detailed, current mapping of where, when, and in which mathematical domains sex differences emer…

The equalization of capital profitability through financial investments and the historical development of capitalism
The 'equalization of firms' and sectoral profitability is considered a key feature of capitalist economy by most economic schools. For Marx, it is the basis of the laws of movement of bourgeois society. In this work we consider the related theoretical and empirical literature spanning for more than a century. We suggest that Marx exposed two different meanings of the process: the equalization in the productive sphere is a heritage of the classica…
Behavioral economics and the nature of neoclassical paradigm
Psychological observations are by now well integrated into economics, especially in the theory of finance, as can also be seen in the Nobel Prize awarded to Thaler. On the contrary, Simon’s attempt to reforge economic theory on the paradigm of bounded rationality failed. Starting from the birth of the neoclassical paradigm, we’ll describe the attempt to give it psychological foundations with a direct measurement of utility, then the axiomatic tur…
Austerity and Financialization
Since the 1990s, economic policies in Europe and elsewhere, have been based on the theoretical and practical ideas embedded in the Maastricht Treaty: public debt and deficit must be reduced, even if this implies severe austerity. The main goal of this policy, growth with a decrease in public debt, did not work. Although the Maastricht Treaty framework received a wide consensus in the academic world as well in European politics, a few brave schola…
