• An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “Although prior research suggests that physiological arousal alone might increase performance on automated tasks by facilitating the well-learned or prepotent response (Zajonc, 1965), more recent work indicates that the specific nature of such arousal (threat or challenge) should moderate performance”
• When the pressure is up: The assessment of social identity threat in low and high status groups (2005, unknown): “…colleagues demonstrated physiological threat responses when working on a task with a person who bears a stigma (Blascovich, Mendes, et al., 2001; Mendes et al., 2002), or when being subject to confirm negative stereotypes about group performance (i.e., ‘‘stereotype threat’’; Blascovich,…”
• Psychological stress, appraisal, emotion and Cardiovascular response in a public speaking task (2004, methodology): “Since we were interested in change in CV response over the course of the stressor, we measured CV response first at baseline and again during the preparation and task periods.”
• Suffering from the possibility of status loss: Physiological responses to social identity threat in high status groups. (2009, methodology): “…physiological mechanisms driving the cardiovascular threat pattern generate ‘‘large increases in hemodynamic responses’’ (p. 66), whereas the physiological mechanisms driving the cardiovascular challenge pattern generate ‘‘unchanged hemodynamic responses’’ (p. 65; see also Mendes et al., 2002).”
