A range of attitude, achievement and sex stereotyping tests were administered to 11-year-old children in their first term at comprehensive school. The boys were found to be markedly more sex-stereotyped than the girls. Able girls and those from middle class homes were slightly less sex-stereotyped than others. For both sexes a feminine self-image was weakly linked to low academic achievement, and a masculine self-image to high achievement. Children who endorsed sex stereotypes showed less interest than other children in learning about the areas of science traditionally associated with the opposite sex
