Women told that female under-achievement in mathematics is due to genetic factors perform much worse on maths tests than those told that social factors are responsible.http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn10333-negative-stereotypes-make-women-worse-at-maths.html
Женщины, которым сказали, что их неспособность к математике вызвана наследственными факторами, решали задачки на экзамене гораздо хуже, чем женщины, которым сказали, что их неспособность к математике возникла из-за социальных факторов, например, из-за плохих учителей.
Very similar to people's creative abilities. Those, especially children, who think that their creativity is limited by "genetics" perform much worse, than those who are told that creativity can be taught. |
