Abstract

Stereotype threat and mindset were compared in White and Hispanic women at an HSI (N = 84, Mage = 25.19). Hispanic, but not White, women performed worse on a short math test after being asked about their culture compared to a similar pre-test. Mindset was not related to stereotype threat.
