Gender Stereotypes and Performance: An Analytical Review

The article I will be reviewing on is called "Knowing is Half the Battle." It describes a test being done that the researchers wanted to test to see how women will perform on a math performance test. I feel as this is a great topic seeing as though it pertains to undergraduate college students. There is a perception that women perform low on the test and I want to break down or show how this was being done throughout this article.
Design
There are two types of designs that fit with this experiment for the article "Knowing is Half the Battle." One of the type of design is the experimental design. A experimental design is a design that shows how one thing can affect another. For example, the dependent variable will have an effect on the independent variable. This also uses random selection for an experimental design. I choose this particular design because in the article it says that the participants were randomly design instead of choosing who was they want instead. This design is trying to prove why or how the stereotype threat of women has on low performance test scores. Second type of design I thought might fit with this article is the correlational design. This design defines as seeing how to

That is because one variable is depended on the other variable. For this experiment the independent variable is the stereotype threat of being a woman. The dependent variable is math performance test. This all would explain that a math score whether it high or low. That is would tie into a women that has taken the test and how she performed on the test. The score would explain that a women will be judge on that score which is the stereotype of this article that women perform low on the math test. The test is called the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and it is a timed test that is 20 minutes. With 30 multiple - choice questions to be answered. Which give the experimenters their
