(2016, unknown): “…Schmader & Johns, 2003), impaired decision-making (Inzlicht & Kang, 2010), underperformance (Steele & Aronson, 1995), self-handicapping behavior (Brown & Josephs, 1999; Keller, 2002; Stone, 2002), and disengagement (Major, Spencer, Schmader, Wolfe, & Crocker, 1998; Smith, Sansone, & White, 2007).”
Understanding the Process of Stereotype Threat: A Review of Mediational Variables and New Performance Goal Directions (2004, methodology): “This test perception hypothesis is based on Steele’s earlier work showing that Blacks under stereotype threat reported perceiving an upcoming exam as unfair to a greater extent than the other participants (Steele and Aronson, 1995, Study 3). However, because participants did not actually take the ex”
Stereotype threat and sport: can athletic performance be threatened? (2004, background): “Golf was chosen because it is known to fall prey to stereotype threat effects (Stone, 2002; Stone et al., 1999) and is a complex motor skill that has been shown to become proceduralized with extended practice (Beilock & Carr, 2001; Beilock, Wierenga, & Carr, 2002).”
The influence of sex stereotypes and gender roles on participation and performance in sport and exercise: review and future directions. (2013, background): “…observed on motor tasks may also apply to cognitive tasks, such as avoidance motivation (Chalabaev, Sarrazin et al., 2008) and self-handicapping (Stone, 2002), other processes differ depending on the nature of the task: whereas sensorimotor skills are mostly proceduralized and run off…”
Threatened to distraction Mind-wandering as a consequence of stereotype threat (2011, background): “Accordingly, reduced effort and poor performance on practice tasks administered prior to a test may not only be evidence of motivated self-handicapping (Stone, 2002) but could also be indicative of mind-wandering processes that make it difficult for people to set and implement preparatory goals and ”
Stereotypes and the Achievement Gap: Stereotype Threat Prior to Test Taking (2012, background): “In a non-academic domain, Stone (2002) investigated how much White Americans practice for an upcoming golf-putting task.”
An integrated process model of stereotype threat effects on performance. (2008, background): “…test when they are told that their performance will be compared with that of Asian men (Aronson et al., 1999), and Whites perform more poorly than Blacks on a motor task when it is described to them as measuring their natural athletic ability (Stone, 2002; Stone, Lynch, Sjomeling, & Darley, 1999).”
Humble Beginnings: Current Trends, State Perspectives, and Hallmarks of Humility (2013, background): “Also, stress can also interfere with decision making and performance, especially on difficult tasks requiring a high degree of concentration (Steele, 1997; Stone, 2002).”
Disabling the Able: Stereotype Threat and Women's Work Performance (2006, background): “Similarly, individuals who are less identified with a given domain (Aronson et al., 1999; Leyens, Désert, Croizet, & Darcis, 2000; Spencer et al., 1999; Stone, 2002; Stone, Lynch, Sjomeling, & Darley, 1999) are less likely to experience stereotype threat than individuals who are more domain identifi”
The Role of Gender Identities and Stereotype Salience With the Academic Performance of Male and Female College Athletes (2009, background): “…has also been shown to influence performance in nonacademic settings, such as for African American and European American athletes in sports (Stone, 2002; Stone, Lynch, Sjomeling, & Darley, 1999), women during negotiations (Kray, Thompson, & Galinsky, 2001), and gay men during interaction…”
On the epistemic costs of implicit bias (2011, background): “…more poorly on a math test when they are told that their performance will be compared with that of Asian men (Aronson et al. 1999), and Whites perform more poorly than Blacks on a motor task when it is described to them as measuring their natural athletic ability (Stone 2002; Stone et al. 1999).”
