The Stereotypical Computer Scientist: Gendered Media Representations as a Barrier to Inclusion for Women (2013, background): “…way a social group is represented in the media—including broadcast media (e.g., television, film), internet media (e.g., blogs), and print media (e.g., newspapers)—influences how people think about that group and their relation to it (Davies et al. 2002; Fryberg et al. 2008; Pronin et al. 2004).”
STEMing the tide: using ingroup experts to inoculate women's self-concept in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). (2011, methodology): “…Models Our proposed model focuses on shifting women’s self-concept by exposing them to same-sex STEM experts whose existence 1 One related finding by Pronin, Steele, and Ross (2004) revealed that under stereotype threat women explicitly disavowed particular feminine traits that are stereotypically…”
A World of Difference: International Trends in Women's Economic Status (2011, background): “This is part of a growing body of evidence that cultural gender beliefs can influence occupational aspirations and performance in stereotype-consistent ways (Pronin et al. 2002).”
Contending With Stereotype Threat at Work: A Model of Long-Term Responses 1Ψ7 (2011, background): “For example, Pronin et al. (2004) found that women who had taken a high number of math classes were more likely to disassociate from “feminine characteristics” (e.g., flirtatious, planning to have children) that were strongly associated with the stereotype that women are bad at math compared to…”
But You Don’t Look Like A Scientist!: Women Scientists with Feminine Appearance are Deemed Less Likely to be Scientists (2016, positive): “Although past research has suggested that femininity and attractiveness are generally viewed as incompatible with science (Hartman and Hartman 2008; Pronin et al. 2004), this is the first research we know of to use a naturalistic, robust stimulus set and demonstrate that subtle variations in…”
Women and minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics : upping the numbers (2007, background): “Finally, a third line of research has sought to determine individual differences in susceptibility and responses to stereotype threat (Pronin et al., 2004; Schmader, 2002; Schmader et al., 2004; J. Steele, 2003; J. Steele et al., 2007).”
The Role of Gender Identities and Stereotype Salience With the Academic Performance of Male and Female College Athletes (2009, result): “This finding extends previous research showing that the separation or compartmentalization of two conflicting identities acts as a buffer when the stigmatized identity and concomitant negative stereotypes are made salient in a performance context (Pronin et al., 2003; Settles et al., 2002).”
Social identity threat and consumer preferences (2009, background): “…threat demonstrates that individuals only disfavor characteristics that are explicitly negatively associated with the threatened dimension (Pronin et al., 2004), whereas other research shows that those experiencing stereotype threat will avoid positive and negative behaviors associated…”
