@starziecat @hushfv2 @Just_Parad0x read my comment on stereotype threat and the psychology behind it and you’d understand why. men do not face harassment and this threat in the gaming space like women do, simple as that!
@chxpfnn because women in the fortnite community deal with constant harassment and stereotype threat. when female fort players r better than men yall beat her down and convince her she’s not as good simply bc she is a woman.
@hushfv2 @Just_Parad0x there is no biological or mental advantage for men over women in playing video games. do any decent research and you’d get that thru ur thick skull. the only reason women struggle is because of stereotype threat
@MARthecook @imfreexzy @Fraanticc @Kanaryfn7 stereotype threat
@doakey9 @imfreexzy @Fraanticc @Kanaryfn7 the bottom line is, men do not experience stereotype threat the way women do in gaming spaces. they can compete, but psychologically stereotype threat hinders performance especially considering how sexist the fort community is
(stereotype threat is the fear of confirming a negative stereotype about a person's social group, which can cause a decline in performance on tasks) which men don’t have to deal with lol
women are not ‘less skilled’ than male gamers. the reason behind holding the milk cup for women exclusively stems from allowing them to have their own space. women are not any less talented, they are just more susceptible to stereotype threat compared to their male counterparts

@xyzsamsara @avidseries Bias endures in subtle forms, but overt racial discrimination declined sharply after 1960s reforms like the Civil Rights Act. Stereotype threat experiments yield modest effects—meta-analyses estimate ~0.3 standard deviations—not enough to bridge 1+ SD gaps observed consistently.

I intentionally replaced the term "stereotype threat" with "meta-stereotype" and "self-stereotype" in my thesis due to the replication crisis in the field, as highlighted by Dr. Michael Inzlicht (www.speakandregret.michaelinzlicht.com/p/revisiting...). #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #SocialPsy

Yeah I suspect it might reduce some overt discrimination, reproduce latent discursive discrimination, and mostly works here by reducing stereotype threat in candidates. But just some guesses.
From the summary. I’m not at the underlying data yet. My bet would be that, in general, an AI interview reduces stereotype threat.
It's not a stereotype, it's statistics. White cis males are overwhelmingly conservative ( if not Republican in the US). No one said "all" And stereotype threat harms minorities, not the people on top: white cis males.
One concept to explain the effect this has is 'stereotype threat', the felt sense of danger that in a particular setting one's identity is a likely vector of attack, derision, contempt etc. It creates anxiety, affects performance, leads to disengagement. The women report all these effects.
It's super not worth correcting people and dealing with stereotype threat.
In psychology too there are a numerous cases where weak links gave rise to huge literatures, such as ego depletion and stereotype threat. Science is often a weak-link problem.

Without the belief that others hold a stereotype, there would be no basis for the "concern of confirming or being reduced to" that stereotype, thus rendering stereotype threat theories unsustainable. #socialpsych #psychology #PsychoSciSky
If the fundamental concept of metastereotypes (the belief about how an out-group perceives one's own group) were to "collapse" or be disproven, it would remove the initial cognitive input required for stereotype threat to manifest. #socialpsych #psychology #PsychoSciSky

Stereotype threat Stereotype confirmation
ステレオタイプ脅威の研究はあんまり追えていないんだけど,こうして読んでみると思ったよりは効果あるのかもなぁという。この話題に限らず,懐疑論者も肯定論者と同じくらい "大げさな" ことを言っていることが多いとは思うんですよねぇ。 A Defense of Stereotype Threat Effects theapologeticprofessor.substack.com/p/a-defense-...
"Are the scientific ST effects that were shown in the lab completely fake? Were they entirely the product of political bias? Or is there a real stereotype threat effect, no matter how small, no matter how irrelevant it is judged by society?"
we keep falling into experiencing a lot of stereotype threat ourselves. with psychosis specifically it's embarrassing because the system member fronting when things get bad enough makes (non-actionable) threats of hurting people, which is the stereotyped schizospec/plural idea unfortunately.
Jesus Christ that's so fucking disgusting. How about creating LGS spaces that don't alienate women and crush them with stereotype threat?
Saw on Turning Point USA- "These people with purple hair... in their parents' basement..." Me: Hi, Woman, home-owner, & certificated, highly qualified, educated professional here... Sir, your stereotype threat is showing, & our 5 year old kindergarten students know what bullying is. #DoBetter
It’s not inappropriate, but it’s not specific. Cumbersome, but I’d say psychologist, and elaborate. Psychologist Claude M Steele, an emeritus professor at Stanford University, conducted extensive research on the self, and elaborated the concept of stereotype threat. (His book is a delight!)
"I've lived through the spectacular collapse of two theories I once believed in: stereotype threat and ego depletion. Both were elegant, intuitive, and socially important. Both inspired hundreds of studies. And both turned out to be largely bullshit."
Like with Ego Depletion and Stereotype Threat, Construal Level Theory has, following failures to replicate, been "motte-and-bailey"-ed to more modest claims. In the meantime, many scientists have wasted time and effort on it, rather than collecting interesting facts about human behavior.
Being a Black woman in folk is "the same as being a Black woman in any space, in any world,” No told LV. “We may be seen as the ‘stereotype threat,’ but we have always been present in folk and country music. There’s a huge spectrum and so much interesting change in country over the past 25 years.”
Stereotype threat: . When people are aware of negative stereotypes about their group, it can actually lead them to underperform (stereotype threat), further reinforcing the stereotype even if it wasn't initially accurate.
That is a huge collapse of scientific integrity and needs to be reported and the paper either retracted or corrected heavily. If the postdoc of Big Prof didn't want to suffer consequences that looked like a self fulfilling prophecy of stereotype threat, then they shouldn't have done exactly that!
Sehe den thread und weiß, was gemeint ist. Dennoch passiert es gerade in den SozWiss sehr gerne, dass genau der Fall eintritt.

Coincidentally, I happened to search yesterday for an answer to “why men rank higher in chess than women” (because it’s a *huge* gap). TLDR: mostly “stereotype threat”. The advantage a new trans woman has could simply be: a pre-transition history of people believing in her ability.

"Taking stereotype threat research seriously leads to many problems. Some of it is built, literally, on lies."
that's stereotype threat, and its something basically every minority group faces. it sucks so fucking much. we all should just be able to live and be without having the constant worry of messing up. i shouldn't have to be the ambassador for my sisters (and all trans siblings) every time i go out.
i love seeing characters that embody that positivity that radiates out that i want to be myself and that's cool! women don't have to be gruff self-assured stereotype breaking heroines to be worth depicting! also, criticizing all depictions that aren't that is just stereotype threat!
Stereotype threat is the uncertainty of confirming a negative stereotype vis-à-vis racial identity as self-characteristic. Steele and Aronson (in Lewis, 1999) conducted several studies with students at Stanford University.
It is their contention that the stereotype threat is responsible for the well-documented 15- point disparity in IQ tests between African and European descended students. journals.co.za/doi/pdf/10.1...
Huh: the stereotype threat guy.
Stereotype threat -- that people who are told that their group are worse at a task will then perform worse than people just set the task with no comment. I read the original paper, the effect sizes are so small.
I read a paper a while back speculating on why most of the best white basketball players are from Europe. The author made a strong case for stereotype threat--here, white kids are discouraged bc it's seen as a Black sport; in Europe, that's not an issue, so more white players feel efficacious.

For example imagine if during one study on the stereotype threat priming there was a string of news stories about ethnic issues which interacted in the context with the needling to lower test scores but then you do the same study next month and get no effect. Reality is allowed to work this way.

growing up is realizing that all negative emotions i feel are results of stereotype threat from rapid acculturation when i moved to mississauga and had nobody from my in-group sharing cultural norms with me

"If there’s no solid (and plausible) adaptive reasoning in which one grounds their work – as there isn’t with stereotype threat – it should come as no surprise that effects flicker in and out of existence."
A nice illustration of this problem by Yzerbyt, Muller, & Judd for stereotype threat 21 years ago. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Using names and pronouns, AI text reveals bias through subtle identity cues—triggering harmful priming effects like stereotype threat in minoritized groups. #aibias
"I have also generally found that criticising stereotype threat is verboten, especially among researchers studying educational inequities, or cultural diversity and ethnic minority psychology more broadly."
"It is plainly obvious to anyone who takes a serious look at the empirical evidence that stereotype threat is not supported by the data. So why does it persist?"
What? No. There's a large body of stereotype threat literature, of which some findings fail to replicate. You learned that this means the whole concept has been refuted? Also stereotype threat doesn't require adversarial scenarios. Teachers can be *good* and the effect can be present.
I was under the impression stereotype threat was a victim of the replication crisis. Anyway, a lot of purported explanations (like ST) just don't pass the sniff test. Iodine deficiency lowers IQ by ~10 points, yet a condescending teacher accounts for a significant proportion of an SD difference?
Neither of these actually speak to the variable in question. A self-report survey response on racial attitudes doesn't tell you anything at all about the extent to which you experience stereotype threat. We can try to measure that, but we just don't have necessary historical data to compare.
In particular, perniciously #inequitable #conventions emerge even without factors that we usually blame for them-such as #bias or stereotype threat. They are simply the common end products of #cultural #evolutionary processes where everyone learns to do what is best for themselves.
I mean, yes people who believe "manned vs crewed" makes a difference are insane but they were a better, more tolerable form of insane. Some of them (the dworkinoid/hooksoid freaks, stereotype threat cult etc) were really REALLY bad, but even they did not torch the fucking global economy
I sort of do, the insane shit like the paper that explicitly equivocates between whiteness-as-ostensible-cultural-phenomenon and color of whiteboard and asserts using latter promotes former, or the insane stereotype threat replication-crisised shit. But it's wild to pin that as "essence of woke"
yo when are they inventing a cure for stereotype threat?
i remember reading this post years ago and it resonated with me i still experience stereotype threat whenever the term "women in tech" comes up i still need to actively combat my anxiety that any mistake i make at work is just giving the misogynists more ammo
I was not taught it, but the stereotype threat phenomenon comes to mind (actually a weak effect, but good to make sure to avoid the possibility). I am more concerned about how the questions are written (like categorizing language skills, gender, race, etc.)
Yes I think it is - I'm not talking about stereotype threat manipulations, to be clear. Outcomes are also more likely to be affected to the extent that they're conceptually relevant to the identity too - so, ingroup favouritism yes, but performance on an irrelevant cog task, probably not
Is this evidence any good though? Genuinely don't know that literature. There's dozens if not hundred of studies with stereotype threat manipulations, and none of them have held up in registered replications etc

performed by your group. https://t.co/u34uxo6VRa The classic example is girls and maths. If girls or women see stereotyped ads before doing a maths test, they perform more poorly.
As an #educator, a #woman, a #latinx, I have witnessed the impact of stereotype threat personally and in the classroom. An observant #teacher can do so much to mitigate the effects of this phenomenon on our students. https://t.co/wSEYF4tKn6

Imagine thinking this is really how reality works. It's hard to believe. This is a prominent review of stereotype threat literature.
@Evidentialism1 @NoTotally At the point that women and non-whites are not faced with stereotype threat (https://t.co/z6siSVmYVt), and research demonstrates that gatekeeping on the basis of gender or ethnicity isn't actually happening, at THAT point affirmative action should go.
