Publication Effects of sex, gender stereotypes and gender identity in male and female students’ reading motivation(2025) Espinoza, Ana María; Strasser, Katherine; Carvacho, HéctorThis study aimed to enhance our understanding of the biological sex gap inthereading motivationof studentsby focusing on the role of gender variables. 303 Chilean secondary students (51% female) completed self-report questionnaires. Structural equation models were employed to assess whether gender identity mediated the relationship betweenbiologicalsex and reading motivation (reading self-concept and value) and to examine the differential effects of gender identity and reading-gender stereotypes on the reading motivation of male and female students. The results indicated direct effects of biological sex but no indirect effects. Multi-group analysis revealed that for female students, adherence to reading-gender stereotypes positively influenced reading self-concept, whereas for males, it negatively affected reading value. Implications for promoting equity in the teaching and learning of reading in secondary education are discussed.
