Researchers interested in how male and female students differ in their self-concepts have found that

A) males rate themselves lower on self-confidence.
B) females rate themselves higher on competitiveness.
C) males rate themselves higher on mathematical ability.
D) females rate themselves higher on risk-taking.

Research has consistently shown that males tend to rate themselves higher on mathematical ability compared to females. This is part of a broader pattern of gender differences in self-concept, where males often have higher self-assessments in areas traditionally stereotyped as male domains, such as mathematics and physical abilities.
