Hi Nancy,
I haven't read them yet, but two articles relevant to "stereotype threat"
appeared
in the most recent issue of Psychological Science:
Inzlicht, M., & Ben-Zeev, T. (2000). A threatening intellectual
environment: Why
females are susceptible to experiencing problem-solving deficits in the
presence
of males. PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 11, 365-371.
Cheryan, S., & Bodenhausen, G. V. (2000). When positive stereotypes threaten
intellectual performance: The psychological hazards of "model minority" status.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE, 11, 399-402.
