Effects of Group Gender Composition on Mental Rotation Test Performance in Women

This study examined effects due to stereotypes induced by testing women in a minority mixed-gender group composition when provided with instructions about men’s or women's superiority (blatant message), in order to assess the hypothesis that the effort of disconfirming a negative stereotype causes increased performance when two messages are provided.

Stereotype Threat and Its Problems: Theory Misspecification in Research, Consequences, and Remedies

Despite the explosive growth in stereotype threat (ST) research over the decades, a substantive amount of variability in ST effects still cannot be explained by extant research. While some attribute…

Facilitating women's success in business: Interrupting the process of stereotype threat through affirmation of personal values.

Findings show that a brief personal values writing exercise can dramatically improve women's performance in competitive environments where they are negatively stereotyped and demonstrate that stereotype threat can occur within a largely non-American population with work experience and that affirming one's core personal values can ameliorate the threat.

Are gender-science stereotypes barriers for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? Exploring when, how, and to whom in an experimentally-controlled setting

Based on Social Cognitive Career Theory principles, the present study sought to investigate whether stereotype threat experiences could act as a barrier and reduce the persistence of women in…
