Claude Steele, one of the authors of the article, has studied stereotype threat for many years. In this article, a number of the studies he has worked on are discussed. Read the article and the information regarding stereotype threat in the Myers and Twenge textbook starting on page 269. Give an overview of stereotype threat discussing why it might exist and some examples where it was seen. Discuss the three studies that are outlined in the article regarding female versus male math scores and stereotype threat. What was concluded from each of the three studies?  This component should not be more than 1 page. Describe at least one other noted study regarding stereotype threat. This assignment will require research beyond the attached article.  Sources MUST be from peer-reviewed sources from Psych literature.  All must be in your own words or commensurate deductions will be taken..

The paper should be 4-5 pages and In APA format. The 4-5 page requirement does NOT count the title page or reference page. As was the case with article review 1, the purpose is to give your analysis of the study, not simply relate the study back. This is an opportunity to demonstrate solid critical thinking.
