Cues to stereotype threat range from blatant exposure to gender stereotypes to subtle activation.
“Cues to stereotype threat can come in many forms ranging from more blatant and explicit exposure to gender stereotypes, such as telling participants that their experimenter is sexist or having them interact with a sexist man (Adams et al., 2006;Logel et al., 2009), to more subtle activation, such as simply asking someone to perform in a domain where there is a well-known stereotype”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
