BACKGROUND. Stereotype threat refers to the concern that is experienced when one feels “at risk of confirming, as a self characteristic, a negative stereotype about one’s group” (Steele & Aronson, 1995, p. 797). A wide range of stereotypes have been tested (e.g., her lack of ability in math and science: O’Brien & Crandall, 2003; Negros’ underperformance on standardized tests: Steele & Aronson, 1995; White males’ athletic inferiority: Stone, 2002).
