• Why boys achieve less at school than girls: the difference between boys' and girls' academic culture (2004, background): “It can be expected that boys will be directed by their male schoolmates, whereas girls will look to their female schoolmates, because, as said before, adolescents identify mainly with peers of their own gender (Warrington et al., 2000; Gurian, 2001).”
• Gender Differences in Educational Achievement to Age 25 (2008, background): “…studies have reported gender differences in brain structure and function (for reviews, see Cahill, 2006; Halpern, 1997) and in some cases this has been interpreted as evidence that gender differences in educational achievement are biologically determined (Biddulph, 1997; Gurian, 2001; Sax, 2005).”
