Executive Summary of Article: "new data now reveal what many of us suspected for at least ten years: stereotype threat does not replicate, and it does not undermine academic performance in the ways we thought."

The Stereotype Threat: "individuals who are part of a negatively stereotyped group can, in certain situations, experience anxiety about confirming those stereotypes, leading paradoxically to underperformance, thus confirming the disparaging stereotype." for example, if you remind a woman of the "Women are bad at math" stereotype, they will perform worse on a math test than if they are not reminded of that stereotype.
