Cover Story: Large Language Models (LLMs) act as psycho-social mirrors that reflect the prevalent views and tendencies in society. Hence, it is important to understand the biases hidden in LLMs. In this study, we focus on the global phenomenon of anxiety about math and STEM subjects. We use network science and cognitive psychology to understand such biases in LLMs (i.e., GPT-3, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4), analyzing data obtained by probing the three LLMs in a language generation task. Our findings indicate that LLMs have negative perceptions of math and STEM fields, suggesting that advances in the architecture of LLMs may lead to increasingly less-biased models that could even aid in reducing stereotypes in society rather than perpetuating them.
