Abstract

Due to historical reasons, females around the world had been labelled as “not good at science subjects” for a relatively long time, and this stigma had gradually become a gender stereotype because of people’s repetition. This paper summarized the factors of gender stereotypes on female adolescents’ academic performances from the family, the school and the society, and the impact on students’ academic achievement development. The results showed that parents, teachers, and the society were all associated with gender stereotypes. Females were likely to grow up with negative influences from all three perspectives, resulting in lower self-confidence and more mental health issues, hence catering to a rigid social identity rather than choosing a future path based on their abilities. Furthermore, women’s concessions and the lack of important findings deepened the biases of they were not good scientists, this made fewer women willing to enter the related field and further worsened the current situation of gender equality in this area. These findings in the paper extended our understanding of gender stereotypes.
