It depends on your perspective: The role of self-relevance in stereotype-based underperformance

Article Abstract:

A study examines whether stereotype priming affects both targets and non-targets test performance and whether priming enhances concerns about confirming a negative stereotype. Results highlight the critical role of self-relevance in distinguishing between stereotype priming and stereotype threat, specifically that if an individual is already a target of a negative stereotype, then perspective taking does not harm performance any more than does their threat-based concerns.

Hardly thinking about others: On cognitive busyness and target similarity in social comparison effects

Article Abstract:

Studies are conducted to investigate the impact of other-self similarity on the outcome of social comparison effects when people are cognitively busy versus non-busy. Results show that when perceivers are able to devote sufficient cognitive resources to the comparison process, extremely similar others lead to assimilative self-evaluations, whereas moderately similar others lead to contrastive self-evaluations and dissimilar others lead to null effects.
