Spatial ability for STEM domains: Aligning over 50 years of cumulative psychological knowledge solidifies its importance. (2009, background): “Part of the motivation for this article is that currently, over 50 years after Super and Bachrach’s (1957) report, relatively little implementation of spatial ability is found for selection, curriculum, and instruction in educational settings—even in STEM domains, where it appears to be highly relev”
Sex differences in the right tail of cognitive abilities: A 30 year examination (2010, background): “…1980, 1983) or social or cultural (Guiso, Monte, Sapienza, & Zingales, 2008; Hyde & Linn, 2006; Hyde et al., 2008; Penner, 2008; Penner & Paret, 2008) aspects, but are likely best explained via frameworks that examine multiple perspectives…”
The Development of Gender Achievement Gaps in Mathematics and Reading During Elementary and Middle School (2011, methodology): “As a first approach to these questions, we used quantile regression (Koenker & Bassett, 1978), which was similarly used by Penner and Paret (2008) in their study of the math achievement gender gap.”
Let the Girls Learn! It is Not Only About Math… It's About Gender Social Norms (2018, background): “In this year, 115 countries were included, in 2007 128, in 2008 130, and in 2009 134. In order to maximize the number of countries in our sample, we focus on the year 2009 as NRS 2016. The use of contemporaneous measures of gender equality rather than those observed at the time parents migrate is a ”

Young girls’ arithmetic and spatial skills: The distal and proximal roles of family socioeconomics and home learning experiences (2012, background): “For mathematics, it was previously thought that there is a reversal of gender differences in performance–with girls outperforming boys prior to first grade (Ginsburg & Baroody, 2003), and then boys outperforming girls during elementary school and later (Penner & Paret, 2008).”
Pipeline Dreams: Occupational Plans and Gender Differences in STEM Major Persistence and Completion (2020, background): “…grades exceed men’s, on average, their mean math test scores still fall slightly below men’s in the United States, and they are underrepresented among students who leave high school with the strongest academic preparation in science and math (Ellison and Swanson 2010; Penner and Paret 2008).”
Women in Academic Science (2014, background): “Finally, it found that women spend more time in rank as assistant professors than do men, but there were no sex differences in time in associate rank.”
Girls' and Boys' Mathematics Achievement, Affect, and Experiences: Findings from ECLS-K (2013, result): “These findings are consistent with other analyses of ECLS-K (e.g., Penner & Paret, 2008).”
Unpacking the Male Superiority Myth and Masculinization of Mathematics at the Intersections: A Review of Research on Gender in Mathematics Education (2017, background): “It is important to note that only a small subset of achievement studies across the two strands used the term gender in their sex-based analyses despite lacking any sociocultural or psychosocial considerations (e.g., Bielinski & Davison, 1998; Penner & Paret, 2008).”
Women's underrepresentation in science: sociocultural and biological considerations. (2009, methodology): “Interestingly, the most economically developed countries do not produce the greatest ratios of women in computer science.”
