Motivational Pathways to STEM Career Choices: Using Expectancy-Value Perspective to Understand Individual and Gender Differences in STEM Fields. (2013, background): “It is possible that the intrusive support during math homework reminds girls of their minority status and conveys the stereotype that girls are not as competent in math as boys (Bhanot & Jovanovic, 2005).”
Distinct Influences of Mothers and Fathers on Kindergartners’ Numeracy Performance: The Role of Math Anxiety, Home Numeracy Practices, and Numeracy Expectations (2017, background): “…and beliefs about their male and female children’s school achievement, and specifically math achievement, they not only underestimate their daughters’ math ability but also give fewer opportunities to girls (Bhanot & Jovanovic, 2005; Eccles et al., 1990; Willis, 1989; Yee & Eccles, 1988).”
The Need to Distinguish Between Quantity and Quality in Research on Parental Involvement: The Example of Parental Help With Homework (2015, methodology): “In all models, we controlled for sex because studies have reported that parents’ involvement in boys’ homework is more controlling and intrusive (Bhanot & Jovanovic, 2005; Niggli et al., 2007).”
Math Anxiety: Past Research, Promising Interventions, and a New Interpretation Framework (2018, background): “Previous work finds that parents who provide more uninvited help can lead children to adopt lower perceptions of their math ability (Bhanot & Jovanovic, 2005; Pomerantz & Ruble, 1998), which is predictive of higher math anxiety.”
Parental Involvement in Math Homework: Links to Children’s Performance and Motivation (2019, background): “This result might be due to the fact that, consistent with the previous literature, boys get more direct homework help, which is often more controlling and intrusive (Bhanot & Jovanovic, 2005; Cooper et al., 2000; Dumont et al., 2012, 2014), than girls.”
