尼兰贾纳·达斯古普塔（Nilanjana Dasgupta）（本期）的刻板印象接种模型（SIM）有助于解释为什么追求一条生活道路而不是另一条道路的自由选择“往往受到成就环境中微妙线索的约束，这些线索表明谁天生属于那里，谁最有可能成功，还有谁是可疑的合适人选”（第231页）。她认为，看到其他人像自己一样成功的角色，使女性免受负面的刻板印象，这些刻板印象阻碍了她们在特定的成就环境中取得成功和坚持。作为真正的经典理论立场（见），达斯古普塔提出假设，她推导出一套具体的假设，她回顾了相关的经验/观测数据，以支持他们。这正是这一研究领域长期以来所需要的超越身份威胁的证明，建立一个关于其根本原因、条件和干预措施的理论。这一提议使她得出了四个广泛的预测，其中第一个是我们评论的主要焦点。
Nilanjana Dasgupta’s (this issue) stereotype inoculation model (SIM) helps explain why what feels like a free choice to pursue one life path over another “is often constrained by subtle cues in achievement environments that signal who naturally belongs there and is most likely to succeed and who else is a dubious fit” (p. 231). She posits that seeing others like themselves in successful roles inoculates women against negative stereotypes that impede their success and persistence in specific achievement contexts. As is true of classic theoretical positions (see), Dasgupta presents postulates from which she deduces a specific set of hypotheses, and she reviews the relevant empirical/observational data in support of them. It is precisely what this area of research has long needed—moving beyond demonstrations of identity threats to a theory about their underlying causes, conditions, and interventions. This proposal leads her to four broad predictions, the first of which is the primary focus of our comment.
