Nobody's really worried about competent students not being able to perform.

Nobody's really worried about competent students not being able to perform.
- tabeth 10y agoI'm not really sure what your point is.
- Blackthorn 10y agoWell, you said this: > However, if for whatever reason those students fail to perform, in the eyes of the non black colleagues, stereotypes of incompetence will be created, if not exacerbated. It's not really a concern. Nobody's worried about competent students underperforming.
- tabeth 10y agoI really must be missing something. You even said it yourself: "Nobody's worried about competent students underperforming." I didn't say this, nor did you... so who are you replying to? Unless you assume all black students will be competent or somehow black students don't have regular instances of incompetence like their white, asian and hispanic peers?

- SamReidHughes 10y agoYou're talking about this phenomenon? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype_threat#Failures_to_replicate_and_publication_bias https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype_threat#Failures_t...
- lr4444lr 10y agoWell, I am surprised to see that pretty much every study I have seen confirming the phenomenon had been conducted before those meta-analyses, and is in fact almost 10 years old or more. Healthy skepticism created. Thank you!
