We examined the effect of stereotype threat on blood pressure reactivity. Compared with European Americans, and African Americans under little or no stereotype threat, African Americans under stereotype threat exhibited larger increases in mean arterial blood pressure during an academic test, and performed more poorly on difficult test items. We discuss the significance of these findings for un...

This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify the neural structures associated with women’s underperformance on math tasks. Although women in a control condition recruited neural networks that are associated with mathematical learning (i.e., angular gyrus, left parietal and prefrontal cortex), women who were reminded of gender stereotypes about math ability did not recruit t...

OBJECTIVE The experience of stereotype threat (where the prospect of conforming to a stereotype, or of being treated in terms of it, becomes self-threatening) affects members of social groups about whom devaluing stereotypes exist. Although a widely endorsed stereotype of schizophrenia concerns social skill impairment, it is unclear whether the experience of stereotype threat impacts social fun...

While evidence suggests stereotype threat effects invade conscious levels of processing, less is known about the role that implicit processes play in stereotype threat. Results from four studies indicate that implicit attitudes and stereotypes play a unique role in motivation and performance in stereotype threatening contexts. Women trained to have positive implicit math attitudes exhibited inc...

background & aim: families of patients with schizophrenia face with stigma as the most challenging psychosocial pressure; due to its negative consequences on mental health of family and important role of family in a treatment of these patients, it is considered as important mental health issues. comparing the effect of in our own voice-family with psychoeducation on stigma in the families of pa...

Rule-based information filtering systems maintain user profiles where the profile consists of a set of filtering rules expressing the user’s information filtering policy. Filtering rules may refer to various attributes of the data items subject to the filtering process. In personal rulebased filtering systems, each user has his/her own personal filtering rules. In stereotype rule-based filterin...

OBJECTIVE We investigated whether research on stereotype priming effects can increase understanding of binge drinking among young people. Four studies tested whether evaluations of the binge drinker stereotype have a direct and automatic effect on binge drinking behavior, and whether a self-regulation intervention can overcome stereotype effects on drinking behavior. METHODS Studies 1a and 1b...

This study investigates the post-performance effects of stereotype threat. Undergraduate students (N = 130) classified as either stronglyor weaklyidentified with academics were told a diagnostic anagram task either typically shows poorer performance for their gender (stereotype threat) or no gender differences (no stereotype threat), and received arbitrary positive or negative feedback on an in...
