The ability-achievement gap

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ability-achievement gap is the disparity between a woman's abilities and her actual achievements, which is often rooted in the conflict between success and femininity that is built into the traditional female role. Women may be discouraged from pursuing their full potential due to societal expectations of gender roles, and as a result, may not achieve as much as they are capable of. This is a problem that still persists despite changes in the modern female role. Options A, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of the ability-achievement gap.
