  • Specific Relations Between the Home Numeracy Environment and Early Numeracy Skills in the First Year of Kindergarten

    Christian Peake, M Constanza Ayala et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2025

    Home numeracy environment has been related to the development of early numeracy skills. Previous research has shown the relation between dimensions of the home numeracy environment with general or composite measures of numeracy skills, but specific relations between types of activities at home and the early development of specific numeracy skills are under debate. This research aimed to study these specific relations based on two recognized theor…

  • National disparities favoring males are reflected in girls’ implicit associations about gender and academic subjects

    Open AccessDario Cvencek, Elizabeth A Sanders et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025

    Based on data for N = 2,756 children (1,410 girls; M age = 8.10 years) from 16 data sets spanning five nations, this study investigated relations between national gender disparities and children's beliefs about gender and academic subjects. One national-level gender disparity involved inequalities in socioeconomic standing favoring adult males over females (U.N. Human Development Index). The other involved national-level gaps in standardized math…

Method: Participants were 266 families of boys and girls attending grades 1-3 (mean age = 93.35 months, DS = 11.45 months). Both parents of e…

  • Early Sources of Children’s Math Achievement in Chile

    M Francisca del Río, María Inés Susperreguy et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2021

    Research Findings: Two hundred and sixty-seven Chilean children from grades 1–3, their fathers and their mothers completed measures of implicit and explicit math-related beliefs (math–gender stereotypes, math self-concepts) and feelings (math anxiety), as well as tests of mathematical achievement. Children, fathers, and mothers exhibited stereotypes that link math with males. More specifically, mothers identified more with language than with math…
