Ist Wissen wirklich die halbe Miete? Überprüfung der Effektivität einer Aufklärung über Stereotype Threat zur Reduktion von Geschlechtsunterschieden in Mathematik.

Does an immigrant teacher help immigrant students cope with negative stereotypes? Preservice teachers' and school students' perceptions of teacher bias and motivational support, as well as stereotype threat effects on immigrant students' learning

“…The results of a study by Hermann and Vollmeyer ( 2021 ) are in line with this interpretation. They found that girls' mathematics performance was impaired not only in an explicit stereotype threat condition in which boys were said to be better at mathematics than girls, but also in a condition in which participants were told that girls underperformed in mathematics only when confronted with the negative stereotype about their abilities.…”

“…Only in a control condition in which the gender stereotype was not addressed (participants were told that only some individuals benefited from a positive attitude toward mathematics in their math performance) did girls perform equally well as boys. While one might have expected the stereotype threat to be lifted by making girls aware of the phenomenon, Hermann and Vollmeyer's ( 2021 ) findings suggest that the mere reference to the stereotype was sufficient to threaten girls. For the interpretation of our findings, this implies that explicitly stating that there was no difference in learning gains between students of German or other family language also triggered stereotype threat among students with Turkish family language due to implicit processes.…”
