Exploring the moderating role of context on the mathematics performance of females under stereotype threat: a meta-analysis
Katherine Picho et al. J Soc Psychol. 2013 May-Jun.
Abstract
The current meta-analysis synthesized 17 years of research on stereotype threat (ST). Specifically, it examined the moderating effect of contextual factors on ST. Findings revealed that, on average, females in ST conditions performed less well on mathematics tests than their control counterparts (d =|10.24|). Results also showed that females did not benefit more from female-only testing situations, or testing contexts where they formed the majority. Nevertheless, the trend in ST effects differed by broader contextual factors like geography and level of education, with females in countries with small gender-gaps showing better performance under ST conditions, and ST effects being greater for students in middle and high school compared to college students.
