@koen_hufkens @pluralistic Hmm, when I think about it that way, chatgpt is a lot cheaper as an accountability sink than Bain / McKinsey / et al.!

@inthehands Thanks for sharing! Not surprising, but still disappointing.

On the face of it, the sentence about teachers evaluating math ability in that recent study makes no sense: "Moreover, teachers who reported that gender disparities no longer exist in society were particularly likely to underestimate girls’ abilities."

My interpretation is that "teachers who believe that gender disparities no longer exist in society" = "teachers believe differences in math ability are innate and immutable, and thus gaps in achievement/success/etc. are not due to societal inequity."

And when asked to evaluate performance on a math task, the same teachers are rating what they perceive to be innate, immutable ability, rather than what is actually in front of them to assess.
