Mathematical representation is one of the mathematical higher order thinking skills, as a tool or way of thinking in communicating mathematical ideas. Referring to a research about the inconsistency of a mathematical communication profile involving gender differences and the phenomenon of more female students than men right now, there appears to be an allegation that there is a connection between gender differences and students mathematical representation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the improvement of students' mathematical representation capability in terms of gender differences. Subjects in this research were students of class X of High School in Medan, Indonesia, consisting of 13 men and 19 women. The research instrument is a mathematical representation test consisting of 4 questions. Data analysis to find out how the category of improvement of students’ mathematical representation, using index of N-gain. The results of the research are: (1) the improvement of mathematical representation ability in the lower and middle categories of male students is higher than female students, (2) there is no male students have high category mathematical representation, but there are female students have high category mathematical representation abilities, and (3) the ability of representation to make mathematical models and explain the verbal language of male students is higher than female students. While the representational ability of making tables and drawing female students is higher than male students. The implication of the research is needs to do deeper research to see the relationship of mathematical representation ability with the students' mathematical ability profile.

In this paper, we investigated the relationship between social loss aversion and the competitive sports performance. We found that social loss aversion significantly affected the competitive sports performance in a homogeneous group of male students, but not female students, and that these effects were consistent across various sports drills. In particular, the gender of a reference person was pivotal to determining the effects of social loss aversion. We also showed that social risk aversion did not significantly affect performance in competitive sports drills.

Background: Gender makes a difference in health and physical activity (PA). This research aimed to identify the gender difference in the relationship of PA and subjective happiness among Chinese university students.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shanghai Jiao Tong University from July 7 to 17 in 2021, using an anonymous online self-report questionnaire. The questionnaire included the Chinese version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21). The demographic and health-related factors were also reported. Linear regression was carried out to identify the relationship of PA and subjective happiness.Findings: In total, 1,512 students (1,108 males and 404 females) from three comprehensive schools completed the survey. The SHS score was 17.20 ± 3.44, and it was 17.00 ± 3.23 in males, and 17.75 ± 3.93 in females, respectively (p < 0.001). There was no gender difference in vigorous, moderate PA, or walk min/week, while female students had longer sedentary behavior hours/day than males. Male students scored higher in each subscale of DASS-21. After controlling for confounders, vigorous PA min/week (β = 0.002, p = 0.002) and sedentary behavior hours/day (β = 0.168, p = 0.005) were significantly positively associated with happiness in male students. In contrast, walk min/week (2= 0.002, p = 0.005) was significantly positively associated with happiness in female students.Interpretation: This research demonstrated a significant gender difference in the association between PA and happiness. Policymakers and college management should pay more attention to PA programs to promote students’ happiness and mental health status.

Research and theories on gender differences in self-esteem and depression as well as the relationship between self-esteem and depression play an important role in the field of psychology. In the current study, we explore these two issues with Vietnamese university students. The levels of self-esteem and depression were assessed with a sample of 859 university students drawn from three universities in central Vietnam. The results showed that Vietnamese university students have moderate self-esteem and most do not suffer from depression. As expected, the male students reported significantly higher self-esteem than theirfemale fellows; however, the female students reported higher levels of depression than the male ones. The results also revealed that self-esteem was negatively correlated with depression. The research contributes to the understanding of the gender differences between the two mental health factors and the relationship between them among Vietnamese university students. These findings are important to the development of intervention strategies that help improve self-esteem and prevent depression in university students.

PERBEDAAN GENDER DALAM HUBUNGAN ANTARA KECEMASAN, EFIKASI DIRI DAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN KIMIAAbstractLearning outcomes of male and female students have different results. Psychological factors in chemistry subjects including anxiety and self-efficacy as factors related to each other. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of anxiety and self-efficacy of the chemistry learning outcomes of class X science students related to gender in two public high schools in South Tangerang city for the academic year of 2017/2018. This is a correlational study using a quantitative approach. The population in this study involved 300 students selected through a purposive sampling method which resulted in 161 students relevant to this study including 87 females and 74 males students. The instruments used in the study were anxiety questionnaires and self-efficacy questionnaires with 30 items on each questionnaire, and also for collecting learning outcomes data middle test scores. The results showed the value of sig. 0,00 <α (0,025) which of H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. The coefficient of determination (R2) shows the percentage contribution of influence on male 26.11% and female 37.08% which can be concluded that there is a relationship between anxiety and self-efficacy towards learning outcomes of chemistry male students have a smaller contribution than female students. Replication of the study in different science disciplines and comparing science and non-science majors are also recommended.AbstrakHasil belajar siswa laki-laki dan siswa perempuan mempunyai perbedaan capaian hasil akhir.  Pada pelajaran kimia faktor psikologi meliputi kecemasan dan self-efficacy menjadi faktor yang berhubungan satu dengan yang lain. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan kecemasan dan self-efficacy terhadap hasil belajar kimia siswa kelas X IPA berkaitan dengan perbedaan gender pada dua sekolah Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri di Tangerang Selatan tahun ajaran 2017/2018. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian korelasional dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Populasi berjumlah 300 siswa dengan penarikan sampel purposive sampling sejumlah 161 siswa meliputi 87 siswa perempuan dan 74 siswa laki-laki. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa angket kecemasan dan self-efficacy sejumlah 30 butir pernyataan pada masing-masing angket serta data hasil belajar berupa nilai Ujian Tengah Semester. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai sig. 0,00 < α (0,025) dimana H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima. Koefisien determinasi (R2) menunjukkan presentase kontribusi pada hubungan yang disumbangan secara simultan pada siswa laki-laki lebih kecil sebesar 26,11% dari siswa perempuan sebesar 37,08% sehingga secara keseluruhan dapat disimpulkan bahwa hubungan antara kecemasan dan self-efficacy terhadap hasil belajar kimia pada siswa laki-laki mempunyai sumbangan lebih kecil dari siswa perempuan dengan capaian hasil belajar yang lebih tinggi. Replikasi studi dalam disiplin ilmu yang berbeda dan membandingkan jurusan sains dan non-sains juga dianjurkan.
