Stereotype Threat by Michael Inzlicht
Theory, Process, and Application
This collection synthesizes decades of research on how awareness of negative stereotypes can impair performance, motivation, and self-regulation among stigmatized groups. It unpacks cognitive, affective, and motivational mechanisms—such as heightened vigilance, anxiety, working-memory disruption, and regulatory depletion—while mapping boundary conditions and situational cues that trigger the effect. Chapters survey evidence across education, workplaces, health, and law, and evaluate interventions from values affirmation and role models to identity-safe environments. The volume integrates theory with practical guidance, offering a roadmap for reducing inequities by changing contexts rather than people.
