Does Homework Improve Academic Achievement? A Synthesis of Research, 1987–2003 (2006, background): “Among the studies reporting simple correlations, Mau and Lynn (2000) reported six comparisons of male and female correlations between homework and achievement in Grades 10 and 12 for math, reading, and science.”
Stereotype threat: effects on education (2008, background): “Mau and Lynn (2000) , in a study comparing boys and girls scores in grades 10 and 12, wrote that gender differences were pronounced, with boys outscoring girls in math and science.”
Are there gender differences in cognitive reflection? Invariance and differences related to mathematics (2018, background): “Indeed, several studies have reported gender differences in math ability (e.g., Benbow, Lubinski, Shea, & Eftekhari-Sanjani, 2000; Hyde, Fennema, & Lamon, 1990; Mau & Lynn, 2000), showing that males outperformed females.”
Gender and Homework Management Reported by High School Students (2006, background): “First, from a sociological perspective, girls are viewed as having a stronger work ethic (Mau & Lynn, 2000; Warrington, Younger, & Williams, 2000) and higher levels of self-reliance (Deslandes & Cloutier, 2002), which prompt them to expend greater efforts on course work and homework (Harris, Nixon,…”
Problems in the pipeline: Stereotype threat and women's achievement in high-level math courses ☆ ☆☆ (2008, background): “Indeed, research indicates that females do as much, if not more, math homework than males (Eccles & Jacobs, 1986; Mau & Lynn, 2000).”
