Abstract
Women perform better in college than test scores predict, an effect known as the female underprediction effect (FUE). Prior research found gender differences in Conscientiousness explain some of the FUE. The current study examined effects of facets of Conscientiousness. The results show the FUE is mediated by the Self-efficacy facet.
