Abstract	Studied how far parents' gender stereotypes and teachers' beliefs predict children's concept of own mathematical ability in elementary school. 489 3rd- and 4th-grade elementary school students, 343 mothers, 270 fathers, and 28 teachers completed questionnaires assessing perceptions of ability in mathematics, gender stereotypes on mathematical talent, and future expectations. Results of path analyses showed consistent gender stereotypes in mothers and fathers as a function of child gender that predicted parents' beliefs regarding their child's abilities. Although parents' beliefs related to their child's self-perceptions, they did not impact on present mathematical achievement. (ZPID).
