Considering the long-term effects of externalising behaviour problems on children's later academic performance, it can be conjectured that gender disparities in student achievement may be rooted in developmental characteristics in early childhood. As an effort towards contributing…

Socioeconomic factors influenced differences in math, but not in reading ability. Academic success was more…
