Stereotype threat effects on Black and White athletic performance
Abstract
Two experiments showed that framing an athletic task as diagnostic of negative racial stereotypes about Black or White athletes can impede their performance in sports. In Experiment 1, Black participants performed significantly worse than did control participants when performance on a golf task was framed as diagnostic of "sports intelligence. " In comparison, White participants performed worse than did control participants when the golf task was framed as diagnostic of "natural athletic ability. " Experi-ment 2 observed the effect of stereotype threat on the athletic performance of White participants for whom performance in sports represented a significant measure of their self-worth. The implications of the findings for the theory of stereotype threat (C. M. Steele, 1997) and for participation in sports are discussed. Since no one can be indifferent to the abuse and expectations of others we must anticipate that ego defensiveness will frequently be found among members of groups that are set off for ridicule, disparagement, and discrimination. It could not be otherwise. (Allport, 1954, p. 143) Gordon Allport (1954) observed that being the target of a negative stereotype about an important social identity is distressing

“Moreover, stereotype threat compromises performance in domains beyond academics; for example, threat effects have been shown for White men in athletics (Stone, Lynch, Sjomeling, & Darley, 1999), older adults in memory tasks (Hess, Auman, Colcombe, & Rahhal, 2003;Levy, 1996), and men in social sensitivity tasks (Koenig & Eagly, 2005).”

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.
