Attitudes, Stereotypes, and Stereotype Threat: Development, Effects, and Intervention

Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Achievement-related attitudes and stereotypes have critical implications for students’ educational success. These include effects on students’ academic achievement, self-concepts of ability, and educational choices. Stereotypes are the cognitive component of attitudes and defined as ascriptions of attributes to all members of a given group. Students’ awareness of stereotypes is a prerequisite of stereotype threat. Therefrom, the symposium presents comprehensive new research on attitudes, effects of stereotypes, and interventions to support students’ self-concepts. By integrating distinct theoretical perspectives, applying advanced methods of analyses, and bringing together data sets from different cultural contexts, this symposium provides an international overview on current empirical research in this field. Results of the research presented will indicate important implications for research and students to overcome effects.
