Stereotype threat [electronic resource] : theory, process, and application / edited by Michael Inzlicht, Toni Schmader. Inzlicht, Michael, 1972- Schmader, Toni, 1972- Stereotypes (Social psychology) Group identity. Discrimination. HM1096 .S7398 2011 303.385 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. Why do various racial, ethnic, religious, and gender groups differ in academic and job performance? Standard explanations for these disparities typically invoke either biological or socialization perspectives. The research summarized in this book, however, suggests that subtle reminders of cultural stereotypes play a critical yet underappreciated role in interfering with intellectual performance and in creating an illusion of group differences in ability.
