of African American racial identity: salience, centrality, regard, and ideology. Rowley has also contributed to research aimed at understanding parental influences on children's school-related development in the early years, gender stereotypes about mathematics and science, and children's self-perceptions of ability in late childhood and early adolescence. One key finding from this research is that when boys believe that adults hold more traditional stereotypes, they correspondingly tend to hold beliefs that girls are relatively less capable or that boys are more capable in mathematics and science. These results provide support for social status and experiential theories of development. Representative publications Rowley, S. J. (2000).
