An important goal of the scientific community is broadening achievement and participation racial minorities in STEM fields. Yet, professors' beliefs about fixedness ability may be an unwitting overlooked barrier for stigmatized students. Results from a longitudinal university-wide sample (150 professors more than 15,000 students) revealed that gaps courses taught by fixed mindset faculty were twice as large growth faculty. Course evaluations students demotivated had negative experiences...
Two experiments and 2 field studies examine how college students' perceptions of their science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) professors' mindset beliefs about the fixedness or malleability intelligence predict anticipated actual psychological experiences performance in STEM classes, as well engagement interest more broadly. In Studies 1 (N = 252) 224), faculty were experimentally manipulated students exposed to professors who endorsed either fixed growth beliefs. 3 291) 4...
To address anti-Black Racism, systemic change across many domains in American life will be necessary. There are barriers to change, however, and progress requires identifying these developing tools overcome them. Given that White individuals disproportionately occupy "gatekeeping" positions of power, one key barrier is rooted individuals' emotional (and emotion-regulatory) responses when considering their own role racism (e.g., involvement racist systems, biased actions). people often...
Purpose The current piece summarizes five critical points about racism from the point of view Black scholars and allies: (1) people are experiencing exhaustion physiological effects racism, (2) extends far beyond police brutality into most societal structures, (3) despite being targets often blamed for their oppression retaliated against response to it, (4) everyone must improve awareness knowledge (through both formal education individual motivation) fight (5) anti-racist policies...
Black individuals often feel unheard and misunderstood by White people during conversations about race. These experiences could be due in part to a perceived disconnect between their own people's views on In the current research (N = 1,470 Americans), we developed tested new scale capture this potential mechanism-racial shared reality (RSR)-which conceptualize as Americans' consensus with Americans race racism. First, demonstrated RSR scale's validity reliability (Studies 1 2a), including...
Objective: Interactions between members of different racial and ethnic groups are often stressful. These interactions stressful, in part, because they contribute to social identity threat—the fear being judged or treated negatively based on one’s group membership. Previous work separately suggests that the diversity an interaction partner’s friendship network goals people set for themselves influence threat. Bringing these two bodies together, present research examines whether adopting a...
According to stereotype threat theory, the possibility of confirming a negative group evokes feelings threat, leading people underperform in domains where they are stereotyped as lacking ability. This theory has immense theoretical and practical implications. However, many studies supporting it include small samples varying operational definitions “stereotype threat”. We address first challenge by leveraging network psychology labs recruit large Black student sample (Nanticipated = 2700)...
Abstract Underrepresented racially and ethnically minoritized (URM) students contend with individual‐level race‐based stressors in college, like racialized discrimination microaggressions. In this study, we consider whether URM students' perceptions of racial inequity on campus—a context‐level stressor—trigger adverse psychological physical stress responses that, turn, undermine academic achievement. Using a sample 781 science, technology, engineering math (STEM) students, found longitudinal...
Contending with sexism is associated negative affective outcomes, including increased anger, anxiety, and depression. Prior research demonstrates that the use of emotion-regulation strategies, such as self-distanced reappraisal, when contending general interpersonal experiences, can help people manage their emotions, attenuating affect. The present considers whether benefits reappraisal extend to past experiences discrimination. Specifically, we examine using (Studies 1 2) or positive (Study...
Abstract Societal injustice can trigger moral outrage, an important predictor of solidarity‐based collective action (CA). The present work investigated whether the impact emotion regulation strategies on feelings outrage shapes CA intentions in context two recent examples environmental injustice—water crises 2015–2016 and 2021 Flint, Michigan, Benton Harbor, Michigan. Three studies effect engaging distancing compared with immersion when processing information about events among people who...
To be successful in college, students need to turn their coursework, and a known strategy for improving submission rates is present positive feedback when assignments. In the current study, we test competing theoretical approaches large scale field experiment (n=1,766). Using mobile app, assigned college receive occasional notifications immediately upon submitting online assignments that either praised them having submitted or highlighted value of coursework academic success, no-treatment...
Positive feedback has known benefits for improving task performance, but it is not clear why.On the one hand, positive may direct attention to and one's motivations having performed task.On other task's value achieving a future goal.This ambiguity presents challenge design of automated interventions.Specifically, unclear whether will more effectively influence behavior when praises recipient an action, or highlights action's toward goal.In present study, we test these competing approaches in...
Contending with discrimination can yield a cascade of negative psychological and physiological outcomes which adversely affect health. How individuals manage their emotions in response to influence the extent these health outcomes. Research finds, however, that Black Latine are more likely use expressive suppression (vs. cognitive reappraisal) discrimination, is associated adverse mental In present research, we explored whether self-control (the ability impulses regulate thoughts, emotions,...
