An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance.

Multiple Mechanisms of Prime‐to‐Behavior Effects (2009, unknown): “…as social comparisons (Dijksterhuis et al., 1998; Schubert & Häfner, 2003), self-relevant processing (Galinsky, Wang, & Ku, 2008; Hull et al., 2002; Wheeler et al., 2001; Wheeler, Morrison, DeMarree, & Petty, 2008), ambiguity in self-representation (DeMarree, Morrison, Wheeler, & Petty, 2009), and…”
Virtual Superheroes: Using Superpowers in Virtual Reality to Encourage Prosocial Behavior (2013, result): “One hypothesized explanation for these results is that embodying the ability to fly in VR primes concepts and stereotypes related to superheroes in general or to Superman in particular, and thus facilitates subsequent helping behavior in the real world [23,24].”

The effects of stereotype activation on behavior: a review of possible mechanisms. (2001, methodology): “…that the self-stereotype studies might be accounted for by more cognitive processes such as ideomotor mechanisms (Dijksterhuis & Bargh, in press; Wheeler et al., 2001), there has been little recognition that the other-stereotype studies might be accounted for by more motivational mechanisms…”
