Abstract

This study investigates the replicability of research attempting to mitigate stereotype threat effects. Results demonstrate that the intended manipulation of stereotype threat did not correspond with math performance or reported anxiety, contrary to original findings. Exploratory models of anxiety presented a significant prediction of math performance adjusting for salient covariates.
