This non-experimental quantitative study investigated the relationship between the dependent variables of well-being and resilience, and the independent variables of gender, racial, and cultural background, and physical activity levels of …

An Abundance Of Boys: Addressing The Factors That Cause Gender Disproportionality In Special Education, Andrew James Almendinger
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The gender distribution in special education is skewed heavily toward boys, who outnumber girls at an overall rate of 2 to 1.

In order to better understand why this ratio exists, it is necessary to determine the reasons behind the disproportion. Some of the main causative factors for gender disproportion in special education fall under the umbrella of genetics, physiology, and school structure. It appears that boys are overrepresented in special education, conversely it appears that girls are underrepresented, both of …
