本研究的目的是记录一年级至十二年级儿童能力和价值信念的性别差异（N =514），并探讨这些趋势与父母对儿童能力认知的初始差异之间的关系。测试了六个独立的增长模型：数学能力、数学兴趣、数学重要性、体育能力、体育兴趣和体育重要性。在所有6种模式中，孩子们的自我认知从一年级到12年级都有所下降。在能力和价值信念方面发现了性别差异。男孩和女孩在能力信念上的差距随着时间的推移而缩小。此外，父母对孩子能力的最初评价有助于解释随着时间的推移，孩子信念变化率的平均水平差异和变化，这种影响在运动模型中最为明显。
The purpose of this study was to document gender differences in children's competence and value beliefs (N =514) from the 1st through 12th grades and to investigate the relation of these trends to initial differences in parents' perceptions of children's ability. Six separate growth models were tested: math competence, math interest, math importance, sports competence, sports interest, and sports importance. Across all 6 models, children's self-perceptions declined from 1st grade to 12th grade. Gender differences in competence and value beliefs were found. The gap between boys' and girls' competence beliefs decreased over time. In addition, parents' initial ratings of children's ability helped to explain mean level differences and variations in the rate of change in children's beliefs over time, with the effect being strongest in the sports models.
