That’s called “stereotype threat”, and it’s been caught up in the replication crisis. In short, the effect is hard to reproduce and tends to be small. It’s been known for some time now, here’s an article from 2015: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble-rouser/201512/is-stereotype-threat-overcooked-overstated-and-oversold https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rabble-rouser/201512...
I wish people would stop bringing up studies that don’t reproduce, they’re no better than anecdotes.
- MilanTodorovic 4y agoThe problem with that is, at least in my experience, that you read such things once from a reputable source and never check it again.

- cosmojg 4y agoIsn't that one of those clickfarm blogs?
- jdkoeck 4y agoPsychology Today is not great in general, but the article I linked to is written by a social psychology PhD (Lee Jussim).
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y agoOk, good to know, thanks! Setting this aside for a deeper read, but it appears at first glance that the concerns revolve around statistical technique rather than methodological soundness?
- lupire 4y agoIt can't be "still reputable" after "falling into disrepute".
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 4y ago“was falling” in the imperfect tense.
