PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] – Kindergartners with similar behavioral challenges don't necessarily end up with the same outcomes. In "New study sheds light on girls' resilience and the academic gender gap" in Deseret News,  research by Assistant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs Jayanti Owens finds that among girls and boys who struggle equally with behavior problems, girls have better life outcomes, including higher rates of high school and college graduation.

Owens' research was also covered by Forbes, The Telegraph, and U.S. News & World Report.
