Abstract
--------
This study was conducted with the purpose of testing if the phenomenon stereotype lift could be utilized in such a way as to help women’s performance in mathematics. The researchers tested two stereotype lifts that varied in how directly they related to participants social-self, and one control condition, to see if math scores would significantly differ by the condition participants received. This was tested by providing participants with one of three prompts and then having them take a short practice SAT math assessment. There was no significant difference between the effects of each condition, meaning the different prompts had no effect on participants’ performance on the math assessment. The researchers suggest that the phenomenon of stereotype lift should be further evaluated, specifically in terms of how to produce this effect and if it is still producible.
