SES-1030117PI: Lynn Smith-LovinCo-PI: Steven FoyInstitution: Duke UniversityThis project compares test-taking performance between adults with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder) who are explicitly exposed to stereotype threat on the basis of their condition to adults with ADHD who have not been explicitly exposed to stereotype threat. Comparisons will be made with non-ADHD-affected persons to determine the difference, if one exists, between normative test anxiety and medicalization-based stereotype threat. The effect of a frequently-provided test-taking accommodation for persons with ADHD - extra time to complete the questions - will also be experimentally evaluated to determine the extent to which it might offset stereotype threat. Broader Impacts:If stereotype threat negatively impacts test-taking performance among persons with ADHD, this will provide evidence for one way in which the labeling component of medicalization may harm patients despite the possible benefits involved with having a diagnosis to which counter-normative behavior may be attributed.

SES-1030117 PI：林恩史密斯-洛温Co-PI：史蒂文福伊机构：杜克大学该项目比较了患有ADHD（注意力缺陷多动障碍）的成年人的考试表现，这些成年人根据他们的情况明确暴露于刻板印象威胁，而ADHD成年人没有明确暴露于刻板印象威胁。将与非ADHD受影响的人进行比较，以确定规范性考试焦虑和基于药物治疗的刻板印象威胁之间的差异（如果存在）。经常为ADHD患者提供的考试住宿的影响-额外的时间来完成问题-也将进行实验评估，以确定它可能抵消刻板印象威胁的程度。 更广泛的影响：如果刻板印象威胁对ADHD患者的考试表现产生负面影响，这将提供证据证明，尽管可能会有与反规范行为有关的诊断带来的好处，但医疗化的标签成分可能会伤害患者。
