Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

43.1K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Social Sciences in STEM

Background:

  • Underrepresented minorities (URMs) face significant attrition in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields compared to their peers.
  • Existing academic pathways disproportionately hinder URM student progression in STEM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the reasons behind the higher "leakage" of URM students from STEM academic pathways.
  • To propose actionable recommendations for improving URM persistence in undergraduate STEM education.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current data on URM persistence in STEM.
  • Application of Kurt Lewin's planned approach to change framework.
  • Development of five recommendations for institutional intervention.

Main Results:

  • Identified institutional barriers as key factors in URM attrition.
  • Proposed interventions to enhance student interest, commitment, and ability in STEM.
  • Emphasized the need for institutional accountability and data tracking.

Conclusions:

  • Five recommendations are presented to foster URM persistence in STEM at the undergraduate level.
  • Successful implementation hinges on institutional-level data collection and analysis of successes and failures.
  • Addressing institutional barriers is crucial for equitable STEM education.
