This article by Verniers and Martinot is explaining the perception of students intelligence
malleability and how it is negative on girls. Even before they started their study they knew that
gender stereotype can influence academic performance and career choices. By using an
experiment with girls and boys and it explain why both genders have fixable intelligence but
significantly more on boys. Verniers, a social psychologist with an PhD from University of Rene
Descartes, and Martinot, a social psychologist with a PhD from University Blaise Pascal, have
writing five studies together about genders and academic performance. This article can really
help my paper, specially on supporting the idea of how girls do poorly when gender stereotyping
is present.

Boucher is a social psychology PhD from Indiana University who mainly focus her
studies on lack of diversity within educational and career contexts. This research article explains
that negative stereotypes on women can impact their learning. This studied had female and male
participants, where they were tested in two areas (one was mathematic related) and with
stereotype manipulation. Female that experience threat during the experiment showed poorly
results and had trouble completing the task. This article is probably the source that will help me
the most on my paper since it is almost the same topic as mine, her research covers most of my
questions and topics.

Favara, an economics PhD from University of Essex and current Senior Researcher at

explains how sex stereotype in education might be a factor that contributes with gender
segregation in labor market. Favara males an experiment using boys and girls, and explains
gender identity, how male and female stereotype differ, and how single sex environment affect
gender traits. In the experiment it is shown that girls perform slightly higher in female subjects
then in male subjects. My paper could benefit from this article because of its extensive research
and information. There are some areas in this article that could fit perfectly in my topic but other

that could make it confusing, so I need to pick my information carefully in this article.

This article from the New York Times describes how thousands of students take the SAT
every year and how girls performance in poorly in two areas. This article use data from reliable
sources as college board, to analyze if the exam is unfair to girls. It explains how psychologists
say that it creates a test anxiety on girls based on a negative stereotype. This article is useful
because I can have reliable data about negative stereotyping on girls during exams.

Pollack, Eillen. "What Really Keeps Women Out of Tech. The New York Times, 10
October 2015. Web. 10 Nov. 2016.
This article from the New York Times analyzes how technology companies have gender
diversity and how female students are avoiding computer science or engineering majors. This
article uses Sapna Cheryan, a psychology professor at University of Washington, study on why
girls in high school as less likely to take AP exams or take male subjects. This article can be
very useful or it can ruin my paper depending on how I use it, there is some information that can
complement my ideas and some that can go totally off topic.

Stereotypes Keep Girls out of Computer Science Classes." Washington Post. The Washington
Post, 26 Apr. 2016. Web. 10 Nov. 2016.
This article from the Washington Post is based on Allison Master and Sapna Cheryan
researches. They talk about how stereotypes are a powerful force, and how it is affecting girls in
high school and driving them away from some fields. This article explains a second type of
stereotype, STEM, and how children start believing on gender stereotypes about math and
technology as early as second grade. This article is very interesting and shows this topic in a
different perspective. It can help me build transitions between stereotype in high school and
college, and the different types of stereotypes.
