Stereotype Threat
Participants from a negatively stereotyped group complete a diagnostic task (e.g., a difficult cognitive test) after a manipulation that makes the stereotype salient (such as reporting group identity or being told the task is diagnostic of ability). Performance decrements relative to a non-threat control condition index how stereotype salience disrupts task execution.
