From 2015 to 2018, the math gender gap decreased primarily due to a decline in boys' performances (OECD, 2015, 2016, 2018). However, there is ample evidence that girls continue to be negatively stereotyped in math. Using a longitudinal design, we examined whether prolonged exposure to a counter-stereotypical role model embodied by a female top math scorer may prevent other girls in the class from experiencing stereotype threat. Multilevel analyses were conducted among 1,043 6th graders nested in 46 math classes. There was a decline in math performance throughout the school year for all students, but being a girl had a buffering effect against this decline. The results failed to support the main effect hypothesis (H1) which anticipated that student gender and top math scorer gender would be associated with student math achievement when jointly considered. The results supported the cross-level interaction hypothesis (H2) which anticipated that the greatest benefits would emerge for girls exposed to a counter-stereotypical role model; that is, in a class whose top math scorer was a girl. These results offer new insights regarding the extent to which a counter-stereotypical role model embodied by the top math scorer may influence differences in math performances.

艾玛或利亚姆是数学的最佳射手吗?反刻板印象榜样对数学成绩的影响

从 2015 年到 2018 年,数学性别差距缩小的主要原因是男孩的成绩下降(OECD,2015,2016,2018)。然而,有充分的证据表明,女孩在数学方面继续受到负面刻板印象。使用纵向设计,我们检查了长期接触以女性最高数学得分手为代表的反刻板印象角色模型是否可以防止班上其他女孩遭受刻板印象威胁。在嵌套在 46 个数学课中的 1,043 名六年级学生中进行了多层次分析。在整个学年中,所有学生的数学成绩都有所下降,但作为女生对这种下降有缓冲作用。结果未能支持主效应假设(H1),该假设预计学生性别和数学得分最高者性别在共同考虑时与学生数学成绩相关。结果支持跨层次互动假说(H2),该假说预计暴露于反刻板印象角色模型的女孩将获得最大的好处;也就是说,在一个数学得分最高的是女孩的班级里。这些结果提供了关于顶级数学得分手所体现的反刻板印象榜样可能在多大程度上影响数学成绩差异的新见解。
