最近的理论和研究表明，某些情境因素会损害女性的数学考试成绩。这里提出的三项研究表明，女性榜样可以缓冲妇女的数学考试成绩从这些情境因素的削弱作用。在研究1中，当一个称职的女性实验者（即，一位女性榜样）进行了测试。研究2表明，是对女性实验者数学能力的感知，而不是她的身体存在，保护了女性的数学测试表现。研究3表明，了解一个有能力的女性实验者缓冲了女性自我评价的数学能力，这反过来又导致了在具有挑战性的数学考试中的成功表现。
Recent theory and research suggest that certain situational factors can harm women's math test performance. The three studies presented here indicate that female role models can buffer women's math test performance from the debilitating effects of these situational factors. In Study 1, women's math test Performance was protected when a competent female experimenter (i.e., a female role model) administered the test. Study 2 showed that it was the perception of the female experimenter's math competence, not her physical presence, that safeguarded the math test performance of women. Study 3 revealed that learning about a competent female experimenter buffered women's self-appraised math ability, which in turn led to successful performance on a challenging math test.
