Achievement and Behaviour in Undergraduate Mathematics : Personality is a Better Predictor than Gender
We investigated two factors that predict students’ achievement and behaviour in undergraduate mathematics: gender and personality. We found that gender predicted students’ achievement and behaviour when considered in isolation, but ceased to be predictive when personality profiles were taken into account. Furthermore, personality accounted for significantly more variance in undergraduates’ achi...

This paper describes the gender gap in math test scores in Italy, which is one of the countries displaying the largest differential between boys and girls according t...
متن کاملFootedness is a better predictor than is handedness of emotional lateralization.
A tremendous amount of experimental work has attempted to identify reliable behavioural predictors of cerebral lateralization. Preferred handedness has been the most popular predictor, but some recent reports suggest that preferred footedness may serve as a more accurate predictor of functional laterality, especially in the left-handed population. The present study sought to test this claim by ...
