“…A few studies, however, find that beliefs explain all of the gender gap (Cadsby, Servátka, and Song ; Dreber, von Essen, and Ranehill ; Kamas and Preston ). Researchers have also manipulated beliefs by presenting information about other subjects' performance (e.g., Cason, Masters, and Sheremeta ; Dreber, von Essen, and Ranehill ; Ertac and Szentes ; Wozniak, Harbaugh, and Mayr ), and by using real‐effort tasks that are less stereotypically male (e.g., Grosse and Riener ; Kamas and Preston ; Shurchkov ; Wozniak, Harbaugh, and Mayr ) . These modifications reduce, and sometimes eliminate, the gender difference in the willingness to compete.…”
