The Monitoring Role of Female Directors Over Accounting Quality (2017, neutral): “The more general evidence in Hyde et al. (2008) indicates that differences in math and science abilities between genders are trivial. and the presence of female directors.”
Gender Differences in Fields of Study: The Role of Significant Others and Rational Choice Motivations (2015, background): “The gender differentiation in fields of study is manifested in the labour market; Beede et al. (2011) show that in the US economy, although women fill close to half of all jobs, they hold less than 25 per cent of STEM jobs.”
Gender Differences in Depression in Representative National Samples: Meta-Analyses of Diagnoses and Symptoms (2017, positive): “Theories highlight how specific vulnerability factors come online at critical developmental periods in adolescence and/or interact with stressors in adolescence to produce the gender difference in adolescence (reviewed by Hyde et al., 2008b).”
National differences in gender–science stereotypes predict national sex differences in science and math achievement (2009, background): “sex gap in math performance has been declining over time (4), and another study reported that the size of the sex gap in math performance across countries was related to national indicators of gender egalitarianism (5).”
Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, background): “Gender differences in math performance may also interact with race (Martinez & Guzman, 2013; Hyde et al., 2008; but see Scafidi & Bui, 2010 for no evidence of a gender by race interaction).”
Gender Gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Current Knowledge, Implications for Practice, Policy, and Future Directions (2016, positive): “…metaanalyses have revealed that gender differences in math ability on many standardized assessments are negligible with small average effect sizes (d< 0.15), ranging considerably by sample, testing source, grade level, and year the study was conducted (Hyde et al. 2008; Lindberg et al. 2010).”
