“…In an experimental study, Li and McLellan (2021) found that priming femalelanguage stereotypes among 427 students impaired the male students' performance on an English test. Of note, however, some L2 research has found no or partial evidence for the negative effects of stereotype threats on men's language-related performance (e.g., Chaffee et al, 2020;Kutuk, 2022). Assuming the potential negative effects of stereotypes in the context of the study, it can be argued that the female-language stereotypes might have inhibited the male students from fully using their cognitive abilities.…”

The study aimed to examine the interrelationships between growth mindset, L2 aptitude, L2 grit, and L2 achievement, while also exploring the moderating role of gender in these interactions. A sample of 236 English-major students participated in the study by completing a language aptitude test and a questionnaire. The results of path analyses indicated that both aptitude and L2 grit similarly and positively predicted L2 achievement. The growth mindset had no direct effect on L2 achievement, whereas its indirect effects reached statistical significance. Moreover, growth mindset and L2 grit were found to be unrelated to L2 aptitude. Although female and male students did not differ significantly in their growth mindset, L2 aptitude, L2 grit, and L2 achievement scores, Multi-Group Path Analyses unveiled subtle gender differences.
