刻板印象威胁的来源可能各不相同，目标是在个人和/或群体层面受到威胁。本研究专门探讨了自我声誉威胁在女性数学成绩不佳中的作用。一项试点研究表明，妇女报告的担心经历自我声誉的威胁，这是不同于群体的威胁在数学领域。在主要研究中，我们通过让男性和女性用他们的真实的名字或假名完成一项数学测试，来操纵表现是否与自我有关。与使用真实的名字的女性相比，使用假名的女性在数学考试中表现出更高的成绩，并且报告说自我威胁和分心的情况更少。男性不受操纵的影响。这些发现表明，女性数学成绩受损往往是由于确认一个负面的刻板印象是真实的自我的威胁。的影响，了解不同类型的威胁所面临的刻板印象的群体，特别是妇女在数学设置，进行了讨论。
Stereotype threat can vary in source, with targets being threatened at the individual and/or group level. This study examines specifically the role of self-reputational threat in women’s underperformance in mathematics. A pilot study shows that women report concerns about experiencing self-reputational threat that are distinct from group threat in the domain of mathematics. In the main study, we manipulated whether performance was linked to the self by asking both men and women to complete a math test using either their real name or a fictitious name. Women who used a fictitious name, and thus had their self unlinked from the math test, showed significantly higher math performance and reported less self-threat and distraction, relative to those who used their real names. Men were unaffected by the manipulation. These findings suggest that women’s impaired math performance is often due to the threat of confirming a negative stereotype as being true of the self. The implications for understanding the different types of threats faced by stereotyped groups, particularly among women in math settings, are discussed.
