Page "Stereotype threat" Paragraph 26

Although much of the research on stereotype threat has examined the effects of coping with negative stereotype on academic performance, recently there has been an emphasis on how coping with stereotype threat could " spillover " to dampen self-control and thereby affect a much broader category of behaviors, even in non-stereotyped domains.

Research by Michael Inzlicht suggests that when women cope with negative stereotype about their math ability, they perform worse on math tests.

However, even after they have completed the math test, they may continue to show deficits even in unrelated domains ; for example, they might be more aggressive, they might overeat, they may make risky decisions ; they might even show less endurance during physical exercise.
