This study is the first to use nationally representative data to examine whether differences in gender-typical behaviors among adolescents are associated with high school academic performance and whether such associations vary by race or socioeconomic status. Using wave I data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and linked academic transcript data from the Adolescent Health and Academic Achievement study, we find that boys who report moderate levels of gender atypicality earn the highest grade point averages (GPAs), but few boys score in this range. As gender typicality increases, boys’ GPAs decline steeply. In contrast, girls who practice moderate levels of gender typicality earn slightly higher GPAs than other girls. These patterns generally hold across race and socioeconomic status groups.

美国高中生的性别典型和学业成绩

这项研究是首次使用具有国家代表性的数据来​​检查青少年之间性别典型行为的差异是否与高中学习成绩相关，以及这种相关性是否因种族或社会经济地位而异。使用来自《青少年健康国家纵向研究》的第一波数据以及来自《青少年健康与学术成就》研究的相关学术成绩单数据，我们发现报告性别不典型程度中等的男孩平均得分最高（GPAs），但男孩很少在此范围内得分。随着性别典型性的提高，男孩的GPA急剧下降。相反，练习中等性别典型水平的女孩的GPA比其他女孩略高。这些模式通常适用于种族和社会经济地位群体。
