Eivind Kaspersen et al., « Stereotypes in a polarised world and how they relate to mathematical identity », HAL-SHS : études de genres, ID : 10670/1.zdou6g
Previous studies have indicated that men are stereotyped as more mathematical than women. Since these stereotype images have shown psychological effects-particularly for negatively stereotyped groups-it is relevant to ask how variables other than gender relate to mathematics. In this study, we examined how stereotype characteristics of gender, occupation, political views, and personality relate to mathematical identity. From statistical analyses of Comparative Judgement data, we show significant associations between mathematical identity and extreme stereotypes (related to occupation, political views, and personality). No significant association was found between mathematical identity and gender.
