- Abstract
This study tested whether stereotypes influence students' mathematical performance. Additionally, we explored whether these effects were moderated by the mathematical self-concept. In contrast to a female control group, we assumed decreases in girls' performance only for students with high mathematical self-concept. Boys with a high self-concept should instead experience a performance lift in contrast to a male control group. Participants were 97 secondary-school students (age: M = 15.37, SD = .63). In line with the assumptions, we found a significant interaction between sex, self-concept, and group: Girls with a high mathematical self-concept performed significantly lower under stereotype threat than did girls in the control group. A significant lift effect for boys with a high mathematical self-concept was not observed. Results are discussed in the light of self-concept research and interventions in school are proposed.
