Performance without anxiety
Article Abstract:
The political theorists and activists are relying on Stanford University social psychologist Claude Steele's studies on 'stereotype threat' to argue for policies that make access to jobs and education fair for everyone. According to this concept, the same 15- point gap in IQ between the U.S African American and whites exists between castelike minorities and majority populations in Japan, India, and Israel. His research that played a vital role in solving racial discrimination is discussed.
