Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that when women are given a racial prime, it does not affect their performance on a golf task. However, studies have shown that when reminded of gender stereotypes (e.g., women are bad at sports), women's performance can be negatively affected due to stereotype threat. The concept of racial priming affecting performance is more commonly associated with tasks related to the primed stereotype, not necessarily sports performance for women.
