Stigma on my mind: Individual differences in the experience of stereotype threat
R. Brown, and E. Pinel. Journal of experimental social psychology, 39 (6):
626-633(2003)
Abstract
Stereotyped individuals vary in how chronically self-conscious they are of their stigmatized status, which Pinel, 1999 has dubbed stigma consciousness. The current study investigated whether individual differences in stigma consciousness moderate the impact of gender stereotypes on the math performance of women. Results indicated that, under conditions designed to evoke stereotype threat (Steele, 1997), women high in stigma consciousness scored worse than women low in stigma consciousness on a math test. In the control (low threat) condition, stigma consciousness was unrelated to test performance. Possible mechanisms underlying this moderation are discussed.
