Abstract

The presentation examines stereotype threat, resilience, self-efficacy, gender identification, and math relevance. Participants were exposed to a gender prime, measured on math performance, resilience, self-efficacy, strength of gender identification, and relevance of mathematics. It is hypothesized highly resilient women will have better math performance than less resilient women.
