Analyzing the Gender Gap in Math Achievement: Evidence from a Large-Scale US Sample (2013, result): “The stark contradictions between results obtained by Ma (2008) and Marks (2008), both of whom based their conclusions on the same source data, highlight the dangerous effects of omitting important predictors from the analysis, as such omission can result in model specification bias, which in turn…”
Measuring Emotional Intelligence in Early Adolescence With the MSCEIT-YV (2012, background): “…abundant research shows that boys use more outward aggression in school than girls do (Bjorkqvist, 1994; Russell & Owens, 1999), tend to lose academic motivation as they approach middle school (Anderman & Maehr, 1994), and are often outperformed by girls in certain academic subjects (Marks, 2008).”
Gender Differences in Fields of Study: The Role of Significant Others and Rational Choice Motivations (2015, background): “Further, comparing mathematics and reading skills reveals comparative male advantage in mathematics and comparative female advantage in reading (Marks, 2008).”
