Studies have shown that parents tend to attribute their daughters' successes in math to hard work, persistence, and effort, whereas they tend to attribute their sons' successes to natural ability or intelligence. This reflects a gendered stereotype that boys are naturally good at math and girls have to work harder to succeed. However, research has shown that this is not true, and that girls and boys have equal abilities in math. By attributing girls' successes to hard work, parents may be inadvertently reinforcing this stereotype and perpetuating gender inequality in STEM fields.
