When Social Context Matters: The Influence of Long–Term Contact and Short–Term Exposure to Admired Outgroup Members on Implicit Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions (2008, neutral): “For example, implicit biases are substantially weakened when people’s proximal environments are populated by counterstereotypes, in person or in symbolic form (Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004; Dasgupta & Greenwald, 2001; Lowery, Hardin, & Sinclair, 2001; Sinclair, Lowery, & Hardin, 2005).”
Warm, but Maybe Not So Competent?—Contemporary Implicit Stereotypes of Women and Men in Germany (2014, background): “Students are usually exposed to large numbers of competent women in their daily lives (female fellow students, female lecturers), which should be conducive to a decline of one-sided men-competence/women-incompetence perceptions (see Dasgupta 2011; Dasgupta and Asgari 2004).”
The influence of stereotypes on decisions to shoot (2007, background): “As noted above, researchers have demonstrated malleability in implicit measures by exposing participants to a series of stereotypic (vs. counterstereotypic) exemplars (e.g., Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004, Study 1).”
Implicit Attitudes Toward Arab-Muslims and the Moderating Effects of Social Information (2007, background): “Recent studies have shown that the IAT may be sensitive to changes in the situational context (Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004; Lowery et al., 2001; Wittenbrink et al., 2001).”
Powerful Women: Does Exposure Reduce Bias? (2008, background): “Dasgupta and Asgari (2004) administered this IAT to American college students and found that students in colleges with a higher proportion of female professors were more likely to associate women with professional activities.”
Managing to clear the air: Stereotype threat, women, and leadership (2016, background): “…stereotyped thinking (Fiske & Neuberg, 1990); (e) capitalizing on the stereotype threat-reducing effects of successful ingroup role models (Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004); and (f) making explicit the characteristics of good leadership that avoid stereotyped descriptions (Burgess, et al., 2012; Leicht,…”
The Role of Stereotype Threats in Undermining Girls’ and Women’s Performance and Interest in STEM Fields (2012, positive): “Indeed, stereotype threat research demonstrates that teachers and experimenters who are of the same group and who are competent protect against stereotype threat (Dasgupta and Asgari 2004; Marx and Roman 2002; Wout et al. 2009).”
The Obama effect: Decreasing implicit prejudice and stereotyping (2009, background): “…exposed to a series of well-known positive Black exemplars (e.g., Martin Luther King) and negative White exemplars (e.g., Al Capone) responded with less racial bias compared with control participants (also see Blair, Ma, & Lenton, 2001; Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004; Dasgupta & Rivera, 2008).”
Implicit Attitudes and Beliefs Adapt to Situations: A Decade of Research on the Malleability of Implicit Prejudice, Stereotypes, and the Self-Concept (2013, background): “…as the starting point, Shaki Asgari and I sought to determine whether women’s implicit beliefs about their group’s leadership ability would become less stereotypic if they were embedded in local environments where they encountered professional women in leadership roles (Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004).”
Stereotypes About Gender and Science (2016, background): “Although one study following women’s attitudes toward women leaders over time did reveal that more highquality contact with female professors predicted positive change in attitudes toward female leadership (Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004), this study did not manipulate the amount of contact with faculty.”
