Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Students who were reminded of their ethnicity (Asian-American) had the highest scores on the mathematics test, according to the study by Shih, Pittinsky, and Ambady (1999). This finding is often discussed in the context of stereotype lift, where positive stereotypes about a group (in this case, the stereotype that Asians are good at math) can actually enhance performance.
