Notes on Stereotype Threat and Enhancement

 

Steele, C. M. and J. Aronson (1995) "Stereotype threat and the intellectual test performance of African Americans" Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 69(5):797-811.

 

Dijksterhuis, A. and A. van Knippenberg (1998) "The relation between perception and behavior, or how to win a game of trivial pursuit." Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 74(4):865-77.

 

Shih, M., T. L. Pittinsky and N. Ambady (1999) "Stereotype Susceptibility: Identity Salience and Shifts in Quantitative Performance," Psychological Science. DOI: 10.1111/1467-9280.00111

(Mentioned in Ariely (2008) Predictably Irrational though he writes "Shih" as "Shin")

 

Subjects are Asian-American women. Outcome is performance on a maths test. When given a task beforehand that primes them to think of race, they outperform controls (stereotype enhancement). When primed to think of gender, they underperform (stereotype threat).
